background

My carreer as an Interactive Designer started before I've entered the university or even worked with internet. I finished a technical high school focused on programing in 1997. I have learned old school programming language such as Clipper, C++, Pascal and others. This helped me a lot, and improved my program logic and gave me the opportunity to start creating my first programs.

I started working for a small Internet agency (IBex) as a Designer Assistant in 1999 . At the same time I attended the Designer course at the Universidade Anhembi Morumbi. During these four years I had the opportunity to learn a lot about design, art, photography, video and interactive medias. When I graduated I decided to join my knowledge as a programmer and as a designer. The best about joining both subjects was to work with Client Side programming languages such as Actionscript, Javascript, XHTML, etc.

I started working as Actionscript Programmer in Agência Click in 2003 and this gave me a great chance to develop nice and challenging projects. During that time, I worked in big projects for Cannes Lions, One Show, etc. I learned a lot and decided to accept a new challenge. I was invited to settle out and support the Interface team (Client Side) for a new internet agency, F.biz. I hired my team and trained them.

today

I've been working for F.biz since then. I've been improving more than my technical skills. I learned global agency process, how to find good people to work with, teach, help, manage freelancers, estimate time as precise as possible. Since 2003 I've worked with Actionscript 1, 2 and 3, Javascript (AJAX), Flash Communication Server, Jabber, WAP, CSS, ZINC, HTML, XML, CSS, tableless techniques, cross browser techniques, debugging techniques, and lots of technologies. I developed Actionscript and Javascript frameworks and documentations that the company uses as standard in every project ever since.

I'm completely in love with and dedicated to what I do, always looking for a new challenge, technology or methodology. I'm autodidact, self motivated and I like to find simple ways to do things, and also to improve the user experience and create innovative jobs.
