EXPERIENCE Since founding InterMedia (www.InterMediaOnline.com) in 1992, I have developed several web, multimedia, e‐commerce and e‐learning projects in the US, Latin America and Europe. In 2008, I made the United States my permanent residence and have now obtained a Green Card. I am eager to continue expanding my professional experience, building on my skills exemplified in the several projects listed below. Project Manager, Software Architect (Jul 2007 – Aug 2007 & Feb 2009 to present)

E‐Learning courses (BCP/Credicorp/Profuturo, Peru) Over 20 courses on internal procedures and mandatory training for certifications. The courses were optimized to be accessible with different hardware and internet access requirements: from users in the main offices to users on dial‐up connections and old PCs in rural areas. The content was designed using a format developed specifically for these projects. The information was displayed in 3 levels, graphical, text and graphics, and full information. The idea is that going through the first level (usually comic‐like presentation and dialogs, audio optional), the user gets an idea of the subject in minutes. The second level deepens the information, with extra text and diagrams. The third level offers a lot of additional material and context information and links.
