My Resume - 2nd Slide

Hello Dribbblers.

This is my resume to showcase my diverse yet unique skillset !
===

Though I was introduced to programming with Visual Basic 6, I started my development career 15+ years ago with Flash platform (Macromedia Flash 5, Flash Lite 1.0, Macromedia Director MX => Adobe Flex 2.0, Adobe AIR 1.0 => Starling, Feathers UI) and built experiences of the future including rich internet applications for web, cross platform applications and games for Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Mobile Platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry Playbook and Symbian OS).

After Adobe started losing interest around Flash platform (Remember thoughts on Flash by Steve Jobs?), I started looking for alternatives and tried almost every cross platform Tech from QT to Xamarin, from Appcelerator Titanium to Corona SDK (Solar2D) but was not able to find a single technology that let me create anything and target any platform without making any sacrifices.

Finally, I chose 2 stacks; Unity for both 2D Games and Apps (yes apps) and Angular/Ionic/Capacitor for apps and plugins development. Even today while working on any project, I get a feeling of déjà vu, thanks to the experience which I got a decade ago through Flash platform.

Presently, I mainly develop and occasionally design applications, 2d Games, and plugins for Desktop (Windows & macOS), Mobile (iOS, Android), AR and Web along with all the important features including BAAS integration, User generated content (UGC), social integration (invites, challenges, gifts, share), tournaments, achievements, analytics, leaderboards; monetization with in-apps, ad mediation, subscription; admin apps to manage users, content, localization, reporting etc.

During the last few years, I have also learned ins and outs of Automation, including Media/Design (ExtendScript, Adobe CEP, C#) and Web (Selenium, Embedded Chrome, APIs). I built standalone desktop apps for Windows & Mac as well as media plugins to automate scraping (design sites for inspiration, job/freelancing sites, sites for content analysis), content download in bulk, content publishing, testing and content creation including artwork, videos and animations.

This new perspective on automation provided me a marvelous opportunity to enhance my development career.
