To make a difference in people's lives. To offer a fresh perspective on how we may approach problems and invent solutions. To erase the notion of impossibility. To reach a meaningful connection/understanding as often as possible. In both myself and others. To infuse what I do with a natural, graceful sense of passion for it. To empower others through healthy service. Both an artist and a scientist, Pete has been honing his skills on the web since 1999, and skills with interactive media since 2005. He’s seen the web evolve from simple hand-coded HTML pages to fully AJAX-enabled, dynamic database-backed web applications. Pete brings to the table a strong background in PHP/LAMP stack web application development, and can create anything from the simple WordPress site of a few pages all the way to complex rich internet applications. Additionally, his skills of front-end/Javascript development and design allow for the creation of smooth user interface experiences. Pete’s interest in interactive media brings in an element of artistry and exploration where he enjoys more than anything to use new forms of technology to express and invent new kinds of art. Some mediums used in this include Flash, Arduino, intelligent LED pixel arrays/displays, various sensors, electronics/robotics, projectors, VDMX/Resolume/Modul8, Quartz Composer, Ableton Live, MaxMSP and numerous other audio/visual type software and hardware. He is happy to provide services that blend together all these skill sets to aid your your current endeavor. IT Resume: http://resume.peternsilva.com Lighting Resume: http://lighting.peternsilva.com
