Why Media Future?

Each day more and more media-rich information is appearing on the Internet. This means that images, video, animation, sound, and interactivity are playing a larger role in the way we view information. Media Future is a forward-looking company with the goal of working with Internet technologies to bring the future of information presentation and exchange closer every day.

About Me

My name is Dan Cavina and I live near Los Angeles, California.

I am currently a Senior Project Manager for BT Infonet, a multinational networking company providing global communications services, products, and infrastructures to customers throughout the world. My responsibilities include the development of several software products used both by our customers and internally by the company, as well as helping to improve the overall software development process throughout the company.

I am also involved in numerous independent software and web site projects, including complex Business-to-Business (B2B) databases utilizing the latest technologies.

Previously, I was the Senior Software Engineer and applications specialist for firstsource corp, a leading B2B e-commerce provider of business procurement solutions for companies and Internet resellers. I worked with various development teams to create server software and utilities that supported their business and clients. Firstsource has been acquired by another e-commerce site.

Before working for firstsource corp, I was Vice President of Development and software architect for Second Opinion Software, a developer of medical imaging and communication software. My work at SOS spanned eight years and involved everything from creating project specifications, doing all of the programming on the products, creating artwork, writing documents, providing support for customers, doing product demonstrations, and creating and maintaining the company's web site.

Computer Experience

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. The programming languages I use most often include C++ and C#, Internet-related languages including HTML, ASP, ASP.NET, VBScript, JavaScript, Visual Basic, and data technologies, such as MS SQL, Oracle, ADO, ADO.NET and XML.

Tools

I use the latest and most advanced tools to create my software and web sites, including Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe ImageReady, Macromedia Flash, and Discreet 3D Studio Max.
