I’m Narciso (nj) Jaramillo, and this is my work-related blog. (I was going to call this my “professional” blog, but given the way I blather it’s likely to get moderately unprofessional at times.)

I’m currently a product designer (and an occasional engineer) for the Adobe Flex product line, primarily focused on design and development tools. Flex lets you build Web applications with rich UIs that run in the Flash Player. Currently, our main tool for developing Flex apps is Flex Builder, an Eclipse-based IDE for Flex. We’re also working on a design tool for Flex apps, codenamed Thermo.

Before working on Flex, I led the design and UI implementation of Contribute, an easy-to-use Web content editor for non-technical users.

I started at Macromedia in 1997 working on Dreamweaver 1, and helped lead design and development for several versions, as well as contributing to the design of the cross-product Macromedia UI. Dreamweaver features you can blame me for include:

• Roundtrip HTML
• Find and Replace
• Quick Tag Editor
• Layout View

Outside of work, I play jazz piano, poker, go, and too many video games. I also take way too many pictures of my daughter.

My hair varies in length from time to time.
