My Background

Again, my name is Ryan Benson and I'm an interactive designer, developer, and programmer. In 2003 I started my studies at The Art Institute of Dallas for my associates degree for interactive media. After my first year, I got an intensive part-time job / internship at Rassai Interactive (formerly Rassai Internet Solutions). There, along with my collegiate studies, I learned PHP, higher level of flash design and development among many other intriciate details of the field.

I'm now an interactive developer at {algo+rhythm} where I'm the lead developer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, PHP, and more) and our lead designer.

My various skills and levels of knowledge across the various areas of the field are better detailed over there (*points to the right). As of now, I wish to continue my studies in design (which is probably an eternal study), PHP, JavaScript and Flash. I also wish to start learning more Ruby / Rails, ASP, and Flex among other studies.
