In 1994 I co-founded an interactive multimedia company, Lightspeed Interactive, Inc. The company grew successfully for 6 years with a small, but effective production team. From the business end, I managed day-to-day operations including facility, personnel and financial management. From the production end, I lead development on a majority of projects. In 2000, with an infusion of venture funding for growth, we redirected the company focus from multimedia services to software development and custom installations. I managed the production and delivery teams on a variety of large-scale projects and custom installations until 2002, when the company merged with TopicalNet, Inc. to form a new entity, LightSpeed Software Inc. (In 2003, the company changed its name again to Astoria Software.) Short list of past clients: Cisco, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, Novell, Hughes Aircraft, Applied Biosystems, Novellus, Seagate Technology, Agile Software, and Harvard Business School Publishing. With a desire to return to interactive media development, I chose not to continue on with the company and began consulting for new clients with a team of designers and developers as Flores Design Group. Short list of current clients: Hewlett-Packard, Phoenix Technologies, Arena Solutions, Sabrix, Sana Security, Trend Micro, Plantronics, Alpine and VMware.
