Speaker Bios,

Paulo Fierro is a Norwegian born developer with a passion for User Experience and over a decade's experience of playing with the Flash Platform. Over the years he has worked with clients such as People Magazine, the New York Giants, the Kentucky Derby, SAS, Nickelodeon and Telenor to create both compelling experiences and strategic proof of concepts. In recent years he has switched his focus over to mobile and has been lucky enough to work together with some great designers, developing award winning iPhone apps and reaching the #2 spot on the App Store. A few months ago he left the big city lights of Oslo for Brighton, UK where he has been setting up Jade Hopper, a micro agency focused on web and mobile, with his partner Niqui Merret.
