The system comprised a data storage backend and a series of very different clients that process and present information. It was a very hard project especially due to the high entropy present in the many sub-divisions of the company. There were over 20 different content management approaches and over a hundred content types that had to be integrated in a complex and easy to learn and use system. Particularly I was involved in designing the system and its components, the unified user experience and the data flows inside the components. Content Management System for Mediapro Also at Mediapro I had created and implemented a Content Management System that acted like an information client for the above DMS. The system allowed its editors to use a highly refined interface in order to easily manage the content displayed on the Mediapro large array of content websites. UX/UI architecture for Coca-Cola HBC community website During my time spent with Quadrant Interactive I designed the community oriented Coca-Cola website's user experience providing Visio blueprints for the agency's design team. I have also provided creative input about the websites interactions with its users and also site wide copywriting. Online presence for DDB Bucharest This project was extremely challenging because of the strict branding manual that I had to follow. Also the interactiviti and user experience had to remain flawless even while high profile artwork was involved. By building an entire flash based website I could implement the company's vision for their online image defining place. Data monitoring applications for Mediatrust and MediaController Mediatrust The company's workforce has switched to this system from the old manual processing of information. It was a great increase in output mainly due to the higher speed in content's human parsing and classification. The client/server media management software allowed the matching monitored items to be catalogued, stored and instantly made available to clients by email and on the Internet. MediaController I developed in collaboration with a three member programming team a software package customized for the company's needs in outdoor media monitoring. The application was an expandable dynamic online application that provided the communication and service link between the company and its clients. The website was fully integrated with the offline working software based on GPS driven maps.http://www.mindware.ro/#I can work with you or for you.
