• who am i?
  during the day i am senior creative technologist; using wpf, c#, flash/air with computer vision packages and hardware to create interactive experiences.
  
  resourceful, dedicated and responsible individual. i enjoy challenges and take pride in my tasks. i have attained almost all of my knowledge from hands-on experience.
  
  my experience ranges from basic web page construction to mobile satellite communications network deployment. i have worked in high stress jobs, mindless jobs, boring jobs, and have filtered out a large chunk of potential careers just by trying them.
  
  i enjoy seeing the fruits of my labors and associate a lot my personal success directly with how i complete tasks which others have entrusted to me.
  
  creative, imaginative and self taught -- i tend to look at problems and develop solutions that most would not. i take constructive criticism well, and have no problem bringing up what looks to me like it could be potentially problematic.
