This is the personal website for Zeh Fernando. It is my main repository for information. It’s supposed to be simple, you know. I’m not selling anything.
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1977. As a kid, I loved illustration, but after my father bought a TK-85 when I was 10, I’ve also been deeply interested in using programming to create visual stuff. Other influences include the MSX, ANSI art, the demoscene, comics, sci-fi, and videogames.
I’ve been working with interface development since 1994, using a number of different technologies to create and maintain everything from database management systems to CD-ROM-based multimedia presentations, and I’ve been dedicated to Flash/Actionscript development since 1998. Nowadays I live in New York, NY, and work for Firstborn Multimedia as a senior developer.
My main interests include any kind of interface development, amateur game development, actually playing games (specially FPSs), working with vvvv and Processing, designing fonts, and illustrating.
I can be reached at the email zeh {AT} zehfernando.com (IM account addresses available on request). However, please be aware that I’m very happy at my current position and definitely not looking for work, nor available for freelance work, and I unfortunately don’t know anyone available that I could point you to. Seriously. I’m sorry. So please, do not contact me with offers. Thanks.
