What Can I Do?
So now you've read though my portfolio, you probably realise that my background is pretty varied. I'm just as happy wallowing in the coding depths of JavaScript, AS3 or PHP, as I am discussing creative approaches with Designers, to arguing user flows with Information Architects and examining team utilizations with senior management.
Truth is I love doing all of those things. That's what keeps me going everyday. Variation. I like to think that my multi-faceted and unique skill-set really brings something different to the table. Not only am I capable of stepping into different production roles, but I believe I examine, contrast and understand projects in an extremely broad context. Conseqeuntly seeing things that other mono-skill individuals might not see.
In that same sense, I enjoy the challenges of understanding, communicating and implementing new approaches, technologies and systems. Particularly taking a seemingly standard technology or approach and distorting it's application. Technologies like JavaScript, PHP and ActionScript some of my favourite tools to execute such approaches.
