The avidpronet.com site (available as a standalone site from 2000 to 2002) was the content and community Web site for Avid Technology, Inc. AvidProNet created a community of interest and a knowledge-based site for professional content creators using an in-house developed content management system, and an SQL database for classifieds, resumes and bulletin boards. The site was developed as a way for the numerous video/film editors, artists, and media professionals that use Avid equipment to share their knowledge and experiences, and as a platform for Avid's Web-based services (such as Review & Approval™). The community-related features are now part of the Avid Web site.

My role on this project:

• Defined the user experience for the site.
• Designed and wrote technical specifications.
• Led the development effort.
• Managed the worldwide release of Avid Production Network and Avid's Web services, including Review & Approval.
• Oversaw all aspects of site development including database design, network services, programming development
• Participated in the decision process for choosing ISP, server hardware, software, programming languages, contractors.
• Led the compliance efforts for worldwide release, working closely with Avid Legal.
