Technologies and skills I am strong with:
PHP/Perl development, Information architecture, Linux administration, CMS customization, Video compression/formats, Photoshop/Illustrator, HTML/CSS, Networking/DNS, Javascript/JQuery, mySQL, and more.
Things I would like towork with or learn more about:
Game development, mobile/iOS projects, data visualization, super-low barrier of entry web projects (registration-less participation), augmented reality, media/entertainment/mass communications industries, startups/freemium projects.
I’m interested in things like (fairly exhaustive):
Web culture/web design/web development, Linux distributions and general open source issues, electronic music, cartography particularly ancient or fantastical/futuristic, television as a platform, world history and politics, antiques/books and local history, video/computer games – both playing and studying as a new media/platform, cyberpunk/virtual reality/futurist art/culture/themes, and more.
Some notable things I’ve done (by no means an exhaustive list of projects):
Got into cartography for a while, had two maps I created published in Computer Gaming World (sample). Created maps for games like Anarchy Online, Shadowbane, etc.
Worked as lead texture and UI artist on an award winning game mod Lawdogs for Unreal Tournament 2003/2004. Also created one of the mod’s official maps using UnrealEd (samples).
Started focusing more on programming, and created TivoTool, a ground-breaking application used to stream video from modded Tivos. If you’ve had a hacked Tivo and a Mac within the last few years, you’ve used TivoTool.
Multiple web development (LAMP-based) projects for StoneWard’s clients including Snap-on Tools, Terminix, SportClips, Entergy (e-mail for samples).
