Software-design engineer specializing in user-experience design and development. These days I'm most interested in the RIA space, in user-experience and interaction design, innovation in UI design and engineering, applications in social software, and in various topics in human-computer interaction and industrial design in general.
Proficient in both the Microsoft and Adobe stacks, including C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, SQL Server, and web services in their various forms (WCF, SOAP, REST, etc.), and also Flash, Flex, AIR, ActionScript and ColdFusion. JavaScript, too, of course. Also some Silverlight, WPF, and server-side Java. Perl, PHP, Tcl, Vignette. All the good stuff.
