Devlin Holliday’s Summary

Studying the fields of media, tech & business is my passion in life.

Looking to break into the field & work w/ digitally minded people. Managed my own and other companies. Self employed. Senior developer on most projects. I've handled all aspects of the work. Concept to Prototype to Production & Beyond.

Started editing video & doing motion graphics, through the need to improve my design, I progressed into digital art & photography. Then getting requests for web design, ended up a web developer. I'm the typical designer gone developer, but hope to complete the circle & get back into high end video editing. Be able to master all the trades of multimedia, content management, advertising-marketing & production. One of the few that do it all.

Enjoy photography. Versed in photo touch-up & improvements, or all out photo manipulation for artistic works. Designed UI layouts w/ Photoshop. Capable of exporting design into XHTML w/ Dreamweaver or rendering for Flash. No longer using Actionscript 2, but picking up AS3/MXML slowly. Able to code ColdFusion/MySQL web apps & have my own SAAS in the works. Been dabbling in Air/FMS/LCDS. Virtualized in VMware. Familiar w/ Win2k3/2k8, IIS6/7/Apache2.0/2.2, Plesk9. Working towards Cloud Datacenters. Premiere Pro to edit video. Soundbooth/Audition for audio engineering. Educated in computer hardware & components, w/ years of building my own & consulting for others.

My goal in the industry is to be the best. Like to learn fast & use what I know. Try to keep up & constantly study the market of all things. Take pride in what I do & enjoy creating tools that help people improve their lives.

Born a month after MTV. What else would I be doing. :D
