Arul Kumaran
is a confident, self-motivated person with an R&D nature.
Even though he studied chemical technology, a spark
ignited by his principal pulled him into computers.
A gift (80286 IBM-PC) from his father allowed him to
further explore this technology. He started his multimedia
career as a 3D animator and completed a couple of animation
projects for film and video. He then found that his
programming expertise was very much unused, so he switched
his line of work to interactive multimedia, which makes
use of both his creativity and programming knowledge.
He loves developing web and multimedia content. Macromedia
Director was his primary multimedia authoring tool at
first, and he totally ignored Macromedia Flash until
it became more powerful than a vector animation tool
with ActionScripting (Flash 4). His strength lies in
object-oriented programming and GUI design.
He likes teaching, which is why he frequently involves
himself in conducting seminars and workshops. He also
started a blog to share his knowledge with others. Now
he focuses mainly on Rich Internet Application development
using Macromedia Flash and related technologies. |
