ABOUT ME

profile icon PROFILE

"I am a passionate animator and a tech enthusiast, with more than 12 years of experience in the Digital Production Industry."

Flash 8 Medal HTML5 Medal Flash CC Medal

I am a digital production expert with 12 years of experience in areas like design and development of websites and applications, web banners and rich media production, execution of HTML email campaigns, creation of e-Detailing and e-Learning material, among others.

Definitely, creating interactive content is my biggest passion. It allows me to combine the two things that I love the most: Digital Animation, and Programming.

For me it is not about design flat graphics or writes thousands of code lines like a zombie, It is about bring things to life. It is about going beyond the expectations and break the concepts of traditional media to create outside-of-the-box experiences, implementing new models of interactivity to create a deeper engagement between users and the content we want to deliver to them.

I am a tech enthusiast and I really love to constantly being searching about new libraries, frameworks and tools to optimize processes and reach higher levels of complexity. My strong self-learning capacity gives me the chance to easily adapt to the technology market that constantly evolves.

I am a huge fan of JavaScript, which is my biggest interest so far. Currently experimenting with Angular, and frameworks to create hybrid apps like Ionic and Phonegap. But also interested in React, Node, Mongo.

I am a very experienced HTML5/CSS3 developer, as well as a Flash veteran, so Animate CC, Adobe AIR, and ActionScript 3 are part of my arsenal.
