Alaric Cole has been working with Flash technologies since the introduction of ActionScript.

Pushing Flex beyond its comfort zone, he has worked with Adobe to discover ways to improve the technology. A leader in the industry, Alaric has spoken at conferences such as Adobe MAX and 360|Flex, and has contributed a number of open-source components to the Flex community. He uses Flex in his daily work at Yahoo!, leading development and consulting on projects across the company.
