Jesse Freeman is the Lead Flash Developer at Radical Media. With over 7 years of Flash development experience he has work for VW, Tommy Hilfiger, Heavy.com, MLB, the New York Jets, HBO and many more. Jesse was a traditional artist for most of his life until making the transition into interactive art and hasn't looked back since.
Jesse runs a Flash Meetup in New York City called Flash Happy Hour where other people interested in Flash/Flex/AIR/Web 2.0 are invited to kick back, have a few drinks, and make new friends. Jesse has also been a speaker at 360|Flex Camp. His blog, the Flash Art of War is "one of the oldest Flash military treaties in the world". From time to time Jesse dresses up as the Flash Bum (a homeless web developer) and goes out looking for work on the streets of NYC. You can follow the Flash Bum on twitter @theflashbum.
When Jesse is not programming is he can be found photographing the world around him.
