Richard Nita’s Summary

... both clients and friends are saying that I'm a creative person by nature - a very playfull one, actually. I don't know if they're right or wrong, but it's sure that since 1996 I've gained lot of hands-on experience in the digital design development - seeing the raising of the Internet, learning the ways and tools of online marketing and communication, thinking about the web metamorphosys and working early mornings and late nights..., bringing ideas to life.

Wanna know more? Feel free to contact me. You'll see, I'm the good guy ;)

My main responsibility at Voxtime was to give an identity/face to a new product (called “Voxtime”), to concept, design and layout the interface of Voxtime on-line negotiation platform with intelligent agents, as a user-friendly and highly-usable website. The entire interface was built in Flash 4 (and the result was the first Romanian “professional” website developed completely in Flash), with dynamic content provided through XML/XSL, from ORACLE databases (attention, no Macromedia’s Generator involved here!).

The programming part of the project was accomplished by my super-duper-colleagues (C/C++/CORBA/JAVA programmers). The project was successfully completed and impressed the investors.

Others:
• Participation at the FlashForward2000 conference, in San Francisco, March 2000
