I have had the pleasure of hiring Nathan for a graphic support position at Lion Inc. During his tenure, Nathan has proven himself to be a resourceful and creative team member. He brings to the table a formidable skill set: he is a talented designer and has worked hard to become very skilled with Flash. He was also extremely forthright in sharing his extensive knowledge with the team. Nathan is calm under fire and was very helpful in relieving the team of many projects when they were heavily burdened. I have also had the opportunity to have Nathan work on an interactive Flash side project, which my company, Vid2r, LLC has been using to serve our customers since March 2007. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303.725.6516. Sincerely, Marianne Yates Team Lead + Sr. Web Designer LION, Inc Director of Marketing + Design Vid2r, LLC To Whom It May Concern: Nathan Leite worked under me as a Web Developer at LION Inc., a technology solutions company for mortgage brokers. While under my supervision, his responsibilities included doing most of the text, CSS and graphic maintenance and updating of the 4,000 sites that Lion hosted. Nathan also was our primary flash developer, creating inventive and creative custom flash animations/applets for out clients. Upon his arrival at Lion, Nathan bonded with our team almost immediately and quickly became an asset and key player in the work flow of our group. We soon discovered that Nathan is a dedicated and adept problem solver. Many times someone in our group came to him with a problem that they were stuck on and time and time again he came up with timely, inventive solutions. His Flash skills are top notch; having seen him work on dozens of projects, each with very specific and challenging specifications, I don’t believe that there is anything Nathan can’t accomplish with Flash. Over the time he worked under me, he became my “go-to guy” when I needed a difficult task done. One example comes to mind: one of our biggest clients came to us with a complicated digital video project with a tight timeline and enormous spec-sheet. I gave the project to Nathan, knowing that it was a nearly impossible situation, but Nathan took it upon himself to rise to the occasion and meet the deadline with an end product that our client was thrilled with. He worked quickly and tirelessly until the project was complete and even helped the client set up the equipment needed to display the project at the trade show. Nathan is gregarious and easy to work with. He is sharp and competent in general, and is proficient with Photoshop, HTML and CSS. He can handle difficult clients and deliver results. I would highly recommend him for a position within your organization. Please let me know if I can provide you with any further information. Respectfully, Brady Fossen Product Manager eToys Direct 1099 18th St Ste 1800 Denver,CO (303)226-6220 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Todd May and I am a senior designer currently working for www.regonline.com in Boulder, Colorado. It is without hesitation that I recommend Nathan Leite for your team. I have worked with Nathan Leite on many occasions on various projects. We worked together at Lion, Inc. in Denver, Colorado for one year developing, designing and maintaining corporate websites. While under my supervision his responsibilities included website design and development from implementation to site launch. In addition to website development Nathan maintained many sites including high end flash animation and action script. He was also a quintessential part of our customer service team working directly with clients on a daily basis. Working with Nathan was a very pleasant and exciting experience.
