I started my career as a CGI generalist, working on short films, commercials and web-based animations. Then I landed a job working with Flash creating web-banners for the entertainment industry. Once the Flash era ended, I moved to HTML5 and CSS3, and I have been working with these technologies ever since.
Over the years I have worked in many different projects with many different tech setups and team sizes: from small static webisites to large web applications, interactive screens for trade shows, gamified experiences, mobile-first designs and 3D visualisations. The only constant in all these projects has been the need to adapt and learn. I am confident in my ability to absorb new information and work with it.
