Geoff Gannon’s Summary

I find the concept of interactivity endlessly fascinating, this helps me to push myself as a developer. As the boundaries between web, desktop, and television become less defined every day, the possibilities continue to grow. I look forward to the future of interactive development, and hope to contribute to it in a meaningful way.
