Sean Monahan’s Resume Actionscript Developer

I’ve taken the indirect route to becoming a web developer. In college I studied architecture, mathematics and mechanical engineering before deciding to pursue a degree in fine art. The end result of this an artist-computer nerd fusion.

As a web developer I focus primarily on programming web sites and web applications, but I also dabble in administering databases and design work.  My current focus is object-oriented ActionScript and Flex applications for both the web and AIR.

At home, in the evenings I put on my game developer hat and work with Flash and Box2DFlash to create games for the Flash Platform.
