Ken Azuma’s Summary

Ken Azuma has dedicated the last seven years of his work life to Rich
Internet Application development project. He is working to unite the designer and developer areas of

developer and designer communities with his vision of RIAs and the

bridges being built between the designer and developer worlds and
more inspirational RIAs when the talents of these two groups are
brought together, Cool-guys-does-cool-things level to more beneficial and continuous happy situation, real industry.
