"The best solution is not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

I'm Jodie, and I'm an Interactive Developer; a kind of fusion between a software engineer and an interaction designer.

I mainly work on the Adobe Flash Player platform leveraging both the Flash and Flex APIs. As strong OOP ActionScript 3.0 developer, I spend a lot of my time considering best practice and extensibility issues that present themselves during the development of large systems. I tend to sit on development teams, enabling me to work closely with the teams providing the service and client integration points.

In addition to helping engineer great apps, I'm passionate about interaction. I enjoy working closely with design teams to create the interaction cues and transitions that will best serve the end user, and ensure the success of the product. I also help to develop concepts to a level that can be presented to company thought-leaders and decision makers.

My site is somewhere for me to post my thoughts, and rantings, about my daily adventures through Rich Internet Application development
