Omar R. Rodriguez

Male, 50 years old

A computer engineer by training and artist by vocation, I feel most comfortable in that elusive space between creativity and technology. I believe ideas come first, and Im constantly inspired by cutting-edge technology and innovation. Producing interactive experiences for over a decade at digital agencies in Spain, Japan, and the US, I now lead creative development at AKQA in San Francisco. I collaborate with creative teams to come up with concepts grounded in client goals and executed in the most efficient way. I thrive on challenges, and I enjoy pushing the limits of what is technically feasible. I work closely with clients, making technology sound easy even when it isn't. Ambitious timelines, large teams, and ever evolving requirements are my bread and butter. A strategic planner, Im always thinking ahead to create detailed plans and documentation, guiding all stages of development and architecting solid solutions that accommodate evolving business requirements. I make sure all projects run smoothly by following software development best practices, facilitating transparency, and adhering to industry standards of quality control, optimization and monitoring. Ive done award-winning work for global leading agencies and brands in the fields of fashion (Zara, Diesel, Camper), auto industry (Mini, Audi), and technology (Microsoft, Google, Sony, Adobe). I love what I do and Im passionate about it. read more ...
