About Me:
My name is Wade Walker and I am an ActionScript Specialist and Digital Artist. I have acquired both my Bachelor of Science in Digital Arts & Design and my Associate of Science in Digital Media from Full Sail University. I am currently an instructor at Full Sail and continue furthering my own education and experience while teaching others with the knowledge I have gained from my own education and experiences.
As I continue to learn new things, it helps me excel as an developer and as a designer using applications and languages such as: Flash, Photoshop, ActionScript, XML, xHTML, & CSS. My specialty is in Flash development primarily using ActionScript 3. A little more about who I am and where my interests lie: I love movies, design, video games, and art.

Academic Experience:
Throughout my time at Full Sail, I created many work pieces that can be seen on my website. What you will see are examples of interactive Flash pieces, traditional art, and computer graphics.
One of my interactive Flash pieces was created for a past teacher of mine, under my Internship at Full Sail. The purpose behind this project was to create a learning tool for the students of his class to have a better understanding of the program they would be learning.
Academic Awards/Honors:
One of my Flash games was featured in Full Sail’s Behind the Scenes Tour for Digital Arts and Design. The tour is designed for prospective students to be able to get an in-depth tour of the school and what Full Sail has to offer. The last stop on the tour is one of the Digital Arts studios where some of the best past student projects are displayed.
Another one of my flash portfolio pieces was featured in the Full Sail Student Art Gallery. The FS Art Gallery is held each month for students to be able to show off their work to anyone that attends and be able to get feedback from others. The best art piece is voted on by the students.
Hardware:
My knowledge in respect to computer hardware is quite vast, specifically in the area of building custom workstations from the ground up.
I also know a great deal about computer networking. I am comfortable and accustomed to working in a heterogeneous computing environment. I am proficient in various operating systems; including, but not limited to: Windows, Mac OS X, and a variety of Linux distributions.
