Hi all, my name is Lucas. I live in Los Angeles and really consider myself a multimedia producer, thought Iām a decent javascript programmer, and my current title is āFront End Engineerā.
I work at a place called TakePart, which is a media company dedicated to telling stories with a social slant. We won the Oscar this year for Best Picture with a film called Spotlight. I had nothing to do with it. 
My native language is English, and I went to college for English and Creative writing.
Like a lot of people, I started out in the 90ās using HyperCard, and have been chasing that simplicity and power ever since.
My favorite design/animation tool is just HTML/CSS/SVG/JS, Hype is fast becoming indespensible for keyframe generation, but still think it needs some programmer friendly features to DRY it up.
Iāve worked in a few different industries, Audio/Video, Gaming, Media and in Startups. I personally like storytelling and anything interactive. I consider myself and advanced media developer and mid level javascript engineer, but a beginner designer/illustrator.
So far in Hype I have built a quiz about how much Palm Oil is in our homes. Itās for a larger campaign we are running about Deforestation which launches on Monday.
