PHP OO - Flash/AS3 - Standards Web developer, Content Creation and Designer at AgencyNet
San Francisco Bay Area
Community Manager, content creator, developer and designer, I have enjoyed wearing different hats since 1998, taking an active role in my projects, professional as well as personal.
These past few years, I have had the opportunity to utilize my web abilities in various settings: Opticians (Thiers Optique), Social Networks (Skyrock), Animation (Marathon Media), Mobile Telephony (Mediaplazza), and Advertising (AgencyNet).
In tandem, I have completed a professional bachelor’s degree in Multimedia at Gobelins where I participated in the conception of Mook-e, an augmented reality project awarded the Quality Seal at Europrix. I am an ardent fan of challenges and I love adventure above all!
