Sean Cook, MBA/TM - Salyris Studios’s Summary
I am currently seeking full-time employment!
I have a real passion for computers, graphic design, web development, and video production, but I also enjoy the challenge of learning new things and finding creative solutions to technical opportunities.
I’m a goal driven and task oriented individual. I have excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues using common terms. I work effectively either independently or as a member of a team.
I measure success on how well I perform in my personal life and my career; to achieve success, you must have a desire to learn, the drive to attain your goals, and the knowledge as well as the wisdom, to appreciate all that I have.
Master of Business Administration/Technology Management (MBA/TM):
The Master of Business Administration/Technology Management (MBA/TM) Program is focused on the importance of management in a technical environment.
In order to bridge the gap between technology and business domains, the program has a strong cross-functional focus. There are five recurrent themes framed by the overarching objective of integrating the technological and business cultures:
1. Integrating technology into the organization's business plan;
2. Promoting cross-disciplinary team building;
3. Managing technology-driven change;
4. Providing an environment conducive to change;
5. Developing integrated systems.

(Partnership; 1-10 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
July 2005 — July 2006 (1 year 1 month)
SkyStrate has been dissolved.
SkyStrate is a company devoted to online collaboration for small and large businesses. We have achieved a fast, reliable, easy-to-use, secure, and affordable way to get projects done all online.
How do we get this done? A simple SkyStrate Menu Bar seen in our online interactive demos along with a Flash video tutorial. We have been working hard to utilize OpenSource, Wiki, Skype, and others in a easy to use menu bar.
With LinkedIn as our source of inspiration, we feel we can take business discussions from a private blog into a full-blown online project management in just a few clicks!
Remember: The sky is the limit and we are going straight to work for you! -

Webmaster / Graphic Designer / Board Member
Jumping Bean Studios
(Partnership; 11-50 employees; Computer Games industry)
May 2005 — February 2006 (10 months)
This is such an intense website design that listing everything that I have done and will do--technically speaking--isn't necessary here. Patrick Ellis describes it in a much more fluid manner.
Note: Company Dismantled
Patrick Ellis, Artistic Director for Jumping Bean Studios:
"Our company needed a website that would explain our mission to create fun and educational games for children of all ages. Sean has worked tirelessly and in close contact with us to create a state-of-the-art website that will entertain the children as well as inform the parents who visit our site. His talents have put a creative face to our company that we are proud to share with the world. I highly recommend his services to anyone."
