We’d like to welcome Pavan Podila to the Degrafa team. Pavan has a strong background in WPF/XAML and has worked on complex UI designs and custom controls. He also developed the Illustrator to XAML exporter. Pavan feels Flex is very similar in principle to WPF, so he decided to get involved with Degrafa.

Pavan’s initial role with Degrafa will be direct parsing of SVGs (like those you might get out of Illustrator) into MXML Degrafa mark-up. Beyond that he’s looking to create a feature which will able to convert that MXML to XAML. Pavan is already moving at a rapid pace and we know his involvement will only add to the flexibility of Degrafa.

To learn more about Pavan’s work you can visit his WPF blog or his Flex blog.
