Charlie Moran is a web producer at Advertising Age who enjoys building awesome things on the web.
He's had a hand in a lot of projects, including Ad Age's iPad app, the YouTube Original Channel Tracker, recent Super Bowl video packages and a top-to-bottom CMS re-skin using Twitter Bootstrap, as well as lots of other interactive content projects along the way.
He's most interested in building better user experiences by better understanding users, and he loves being able to tease out answers to thorny questions by looking at the data at hand. However he's also good at executing this vision alongside developers because he's highly fluent in basic web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and can get a lot done with his more basic PHP and Ruby chops.
For creating great content experiences, it also helps that he has a background in actually creating content; over the years, he's written just as much code as he has pieces about music and branding, both through traditional reported work and through the (now retired) Songs for Soap blog.
Charlie lives with his dog Lucie in Los Angeles. He tweets pretty regularly about beer, web technology and music. Ask him about the time he built a KFC-Taco Bell out of gingerbread.
His latest blog post is Diving Into Ruby on Rails With EmoteVid.
