Personal
Note:
In addition to formal expertise, I have a number of creative and personal talents that help me be a better technologist.
These things keep technical skills sharp by working the other side of the brain. They are also essential to my development process and style.
For example, 3D work helps me think through the eyes of the viewer. That is essential to creating great products.
