    As a member of Customer and Ordering Systems' New Products team, I help to assess and modify our existing eCommerce code base to grow and accommodate new IDT products. Some of the noteworthy new products projects I've led the development on:Custom Adapter Wizard - a step-wise, customer-answer-controlled, set of screens that helps our online customers arrive at the exact product that they need. This wizard streamlined an otherwise manual process and presented the customer with an understanding of exactly what they were ordering and how much it would cost, in one visit to our eCommerce site.Affinity Plus - New product support for IDT's locked nucleic acid product allowing more sensitive target detection. This product mimicked many of the characteristics of an existing product but needed modified logic in various places.MS Teams Notification adapter - Augmented in-house Teams posting C# library, that previously only supported raw Javascript payloads, with base class and as-needed inherited classes containing set properties to normalize specific, frequently needed post formats. These classes would then output the raw Javascript that Teams accepts as input for channel posting. This library enabled Teams channels posts to maintain an expected format while still maintaining the ability to post ad-hoc formatted Teams channel posts.Org Name Change Vue app - Created a Vue.js app to update freeform address fields to facilitate organization name changes that came in on support tickets. The details of what to update and how was previously loosely documented. This app made it quicker for the dev on support to quickly, and effectively, identify the data that needed to be changed, correspond to the ticket owner if there were discrepancies, update the target org names, and record auditing data, in one app.Discount Manager PDF functionality - Added embedded PDF functionality to existing Vue.js app utilizing IBEX client library and WebAPI calls coded behind a Vue.js modal

    As one of the two lead C# developers for the company, my primary responsibilities have involved designing, coding, enhancing and maintaining our new web services platform as well as our Dealer Profile Manager portal service. Though there have been other projects, these two areas are where I've been able to design systems from scratch that are maintainable, scalable and highly customizable. I believe that investing a little extra work in design choices can pay off in the long run with potential time saving down the road. The two primary web services are our SubmitLead SOAP-based lead submission web service and our Enhanced Dealer Locator arbitrary web service. Both web services serve back an XML payload while Enhanced Dealer Locator adds the ability to also serve back JSON. Technologies: IIS, C#, MS SQL Server, WS-Security, HTTP security, SOAP, Microsoft Enterprise Library, XML, JSONDealer Profile Manager is a set of DotNetNuke modules that integrate into our customer portal. Authenticated and authorized client dealers are able to directly control the dealer locator data that our EDL web service serves back. This system was designed to allow multiple setups per dealer, global defaults that can be either dealer-overridden or static across dealers, mandatory and optional data elements, multilingual support, and textual as well as graphical elements. The data maintained here is directly served up via our Enhanced Dealer Locator web service.

With this project, AdTrack/SmartLead Corporation became an active Agile IT shop in addition to moving the Agile process, in various forms, to other departments. SmartLead 4 incorporates many client-requested and value-added features into our current SmartLeadPlus DotNetNuke-based customer portal.
