About Marcelo Lewin

I am passionate about Content Architecture, Content Modeling, Content Governance and Headless CMS technologies.

Passionate

I'm passionate about online content and content creation.  Currently, my passion is with Content Modeling and creating content models that are scalable, flexible and support Single Source of Truth.

Content Creator

In order to better manage projects and content creators, I create content myself to truly understand what it takes to get the job done.

Bi-Lingual

I'm fluent in both Spanish and English and love to work with multi-cultural teams.

Entrepreneur

I'm absolutely not an entrepreneur by choice, only by accident. I'm very passionate and focused. When I become passionate about a something, I create a website, content and community around it. A business is then born.

Life Learner

I love learning new things.  I'm constantly watching YouTube tutorials, videos on Linkedin Learning and the million other places on the Internet where you can get quality (and most of the time, free) content to learn.

Certifications

Entrepreneurship

Headless Creator
Created: 2020 | Acquired: TBD | Acquired by: TBD

I discovered headless technologies, specifically, the Contentful Headless CMS and became a huge fan of headless, content architecting and content modeling. I created various content shows around that to attract developers and started consulting and built a small clientele of steady customers.
How To Create VR
Created: 2017 | Acquired: 2019 | Acquired by: Humaneyes Technologies

As a VR and AR evangelist and creator of 360 and VR since November of 2017, I'm a huge believer of immersive technology and its future in our lives. I wanted to have a place where I could learn how to create VR taught by industry professionals, so I decided to create HowToCreateVR.com in November of 2018. Since then, it has become THE place to watch tutorials on how to create Virtual (and Augmented) Reality taught by industry professionals. You can also listen to weekly interviews with industry insiders and creators, attend live VR events in AltspaceVR and watch free live webinars, all focused on immersive technologies. In September 2019, How To Create VR was acquired by Humaneyes Technologies.​
Filmmaking Webinars
Created: 2009 | Acquired: 2012 | Acquired by: Moviola

As the founder and creator of FilmmakingWebinars.com, I designed, produced, edited and delivered hundreds of online webinars focused on filmmakers on a weekly basis. I grew the site to 22,000 viewers, at which point, it was acquired by Moviola. Finally, I managed the acquisition of Filmmaking Webinars with Moviola and oversaw the integration of it into Moviola’s infrastructure.​
Pixel Heads Network
Created: 2008 | Acquired: 2008 | Acquired by: ProMAX Systems

As the founder and creator of PixelHeadsNetwork.com, I designed, produced, recorded, edited and delivered hundreds of audio podcasts on a weekly basis focused on media creators. Grew the site to over 8,000 listeners, at which point, the website was acquired by ProMAX Systems. Finally, I managed the acquisition of Pixel Heads Network with ProMAX Systems and oversaw the integration of it into ProMAX Systems’ infrastructure.​
My Internet Desktop
Created: 1999 | Acquired: 2000 | Acquired by: Internet Appliance Network

During the "Dot Com" era, I created a website called MyInternetDesktop.com, which allowed users to manage their life on the Web. The site offered an API which allowed developers to create apps that ran inside My Internet Desktop. Grew the site to thousands of users, at which point, it was acquired by Internet Appliance Network. I then managed both the acquisition of the site and the post-acquisition integration of the site into IAN’s infrastructure.
