Hi, i’m Matt Voerman and i’m a Senior Consultant for Adobe Systems based out of Sydney, Australia.
My role at Adobe revolves around working with customers at a various points within their IT project life-cycles that leverage our enterprise and developer based technologies (i.e. Flex, LiveCycle, AIR, Flash Media Server (FMS) and the Flash Platform in general). Be it from pre-sales (with technical or business validations) to post-sales (including; analysis, design, development, integration and support). I help people work better with Adobe.
Personally, I’ve been working in the rich media industry for over 12 years, and very much enjoy where the industry is heading. Back in the day, I started out with Hypercard, Macromind Director and Authorware, and then moved onto a relatively unknown application called Future Splash (you might know it by it’s current name of Adobe Flash). From there I cut my teeth on Macromedia Generator, eventually moving onto Flex when it was launched in 2004.
Having been a big fan of rich internet applications (well before the term was coined or Web 2.0 existed), i’ve written, or contributed to, a number of books and white papers on the topic.
Accolades aside, i’m genuinely passionate about helping grow community awareness about the benefits of rich user experiences, and the technologies used to create them. You can often find me waxing lyrical at conferences such as MAX, WebDU, Web on the Piste or anywhere people will listen.
