-
Arni Maack
He started out as an innocent Interactive Designer but Arni soon found himself knee-deep in the dark arts of flash development. ActionScript turned out to be a gateway language leading into a deep addiction to Object Oriented Programming and MVC frameworks. Eventually he fell into a rough crowd and began experimenting with hard languages such as Ruby, Objective C and Java. Today he alternates between recovery and relapse, achieving code free days conceptualizing the use of technology in marketing and then binge programming for days without sleep. Although experts offer little hope for recovery, Arni leads a high-functioning life as a Technology Director at Momentum Worldwide, preaching collaboration between technology and design from concept to completion.
