He currently lives in New York City and works as an Adobe Flex specialist for Lab49, a financial services consultancy firm. Over the last decade, he has moved from Java and ColdFusion development, through PHP and ASP.NET before finding Flex in 2007. Frustrated with pseudo-app development in HTML, and the limited reach of .NET, he found solace in Adobe's latest offering and continues to keep tabs on its competition. He is always ready to wax lyrical on OO principles and platform agnosticism. Justin is also a classically trained guitarist, composer, stage performer and once rode a bicycle across Australia.
