Bio

So, a bit about me.

My name is Bryan Zug and I am the Technical Director and Interactive Manager at Methodologie, a brand and design firm in Downtown Seattle (my resume | portfolio).

At Methodologie, I get to provide technical direction and web strategy for a slew of interesting projects that range from The Coca-Cola Company to Boeing to BNSF Railway (and lots of other things in between).

Previous to Methodologie, I was an eLearning systems technical developer working for places like Children’s Hospital at Stanford and Children’s Hospital Seattle.

In my time with those organizations, I worked on rich internet application development, technical project management, eLearning strategies and healthcare IS communication coaching.

I’ve worked as a web and multimedia developer since 1996 — Past projects have included WBT, e-commerce, content management systems, user interface design and multimedia development for clients like Children’s Hospital Stanford, O’Reilly Publishing, Children’s Hospital Seattle, Bermuda Fire & Marine Insurance, Volkswagen / Audi of Latin America, Premera Blue Cross, Perkins Coie law firm and Mars Hill Church, among others. I’ve also performed quality assurance systems analysis for Real Networks and associated client partners such as CNN, ABCnews, CBS, FoxSports, Major League Baseball, NASCAR, and E!

Since 2006, I’ve worked as the video producer for O’Reilly’s Ignite Seattle gatherings (as seen on Lifehacker) — an every other month-ish event that we started here in Seattle and has now gone nationwide.

Some of the articles and presentations I’ve published include Sys-Con’s MX Developer’s Journal, the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), the Cerner Health Conference, and Seattle Mind Camp.

I’ve also been known to teach an introduction to Macromedia Captivate classes which I developed for content experts at Children’s Seattle. As for other training experience, I’ve instructed college and high school classes that include electronic media design, advertising, public speaking, and sex education. My BA is in sociology from Pepperdine University in Southern California.

I live near Seattle in Renton, Washington with my beautiful wife Jen, my daughter Ruthie, my son Thomas, our dog Scout, and anyone who may be renting a room and eating meals with us at the moment (which was Gayle, then Aaron + Kayla + Maddie, then Greg the Leer jet pilot, then James the Amazon fraud preventer, and Pasha the airline mechanic turned medical school student).

When not doing web development, my family and I are a part of an artful and thoughtful Christian community in West Seattle.
