It just so happens that I work mostly in Flash and actionscript but I don't think of myself as solely a Flash Developer. I have been developing with flash and actionscript since 2001. I work across a broad range of projects from banners to presentations to full-blown websites.
My preferred working style is to develop using Flex with AS3. My last 3 decent-sized projects have been developed using Flex and the PureMVC coding framework. Given the choice all of my actionscript projects would be developed in this way.
I have decent PHP and CSS skills and can create and maintain MySQL databases, configure Apache sites and successfully use version control systems.
I think I have many of the skills that would be expected of a professional and motivated digital developer.
In common with most multimedia developers I prepare assets for projects - video editing/re-sampling, Photoshop/Fireworks, however I am not a designer and cannot work-up a brief into a finished design.
Usually I work within in a client focused, agency environment and am often the last point of call for technological queries from designers and troubled project managers.
When I manage to escape Planet Computer, I like to spend time with my daughters (eight and four), or relax with a good book - ideally historical and very, very heavy.
