Introduction - About Me
I'm a software developer and illustrator with work experience in broadcast media and front end programming. Recent work includes web development, design and web graphics with a special focus on the integration of 3D models with real-time 3D.
My career began with custom painted signs. Later I prepared digital televised news graphics and cartoon background art, earning a couple of IMDb credits.
Early work with digital graphics lead to an interest in software development. After completing a degree majoring in Computer Science, I developed software for the stock market.
Now I create art and graphics centered on 3D interactive projects that efficiently merge code with images. I offer the unique combination of pure software development with accomplished design skills.
