  MXStudio

  Jul 2004 - Jul 2009

  Portal Manager

  MXStudio was the largest Brazilian web portal focused on Adobe technologies. At its peak the portal used to have + 1.000 articles, 230.000 forum posts and +1.000.000 pageviews/month.I started as a regular user seeking for web tutorials and code examples, and after one year supporting the community forum and writing articles to the portal (more than 20) I was invited to join the board. My role was to improve the editorial activities, manage the writing and moderators team, organize events and planing the portal expansion.One of my last initiatives was an eLearning portal called MX Treinamentos, which aimed high quality courses using a didactic and visual approach. The system was built using protected streaming services, multi platform clients and a lot of visual support (keyboard short cuts, screen zoom and video effects). Besides of the huge technical collection, one of the biggest achievements of MXStudio was to be recognized one of the largest Adobe User Group in the world. Show less
