With first paycheck for software development job back then in 1989, i’ve grown with the industry.
At one time or another i’ve done real time programming, telephony applications, speech recognition and text-to-speech, windows drivers development, real time 3D modeling software and numerous others and used C/C++, .NET/C# (all versions), Ruby, Rails, Javascript, Win32 API, MFC, ATL, WTL, COM/DCOM, ISAPI, VoiceXML, TAPI. That’s from top of my head.
I’ve got interested in usability at some point and designed and developed user interfaces for large scale windows applications.
Well, before couple of years i’ve got myself a mac and got interested in internet development (looks like these things go together nowdays). From then, i design and develop web applications for a living and all my accumulated knowledge in usability, application design and development come together.
And i like it.
