  • Part of a small team of six that operated a worldwide strategic sales platform (Data Integrated Customer Engagement / DICE)

During its peak activity, DICE provided a measured 28% increase in field sales closure ratios where it was utilized, accelerating sales completion efficiency for over $1B in sales.

  • DICE targeted customers looking to transform their infrastructure with software-defined data centers, Cloud Foundation, and NSX related products by identifying the areas of opportunity within their own environment.
  • The application for DICE integrated with SalesForce, Active Directory, bookings reports, D&B, and other internal sizing and collection APIs using microservices on a Node.js/Express server in the IBM Cloud. The backend was built with PostgreSQL and Redis, and used JWT to manage authentication.

  • There were 3 distinct applications the front-end team supported at Kapsch. The BackOffice, ROMS, and VIP. Originally the front-end of these applications were written in ActionScript and FlashBuilder. One of our main goals we completed was to convert them to modern (at the time) web technologies. We moved the backoffice jQuery Modules and eventually Angular 2. The ROMS and VIP apps were built into AngularJS SPAs with Kendo UI as the main component framework. The backend used python and Node.js/Express as an middleware to interpret WSDL and SOAP protocols delivered by Java and Oracle DB.
  • ROMs featured an editor-like replay suite letting the user scroll through transaction information laid out on a timeline frame by frame or data-point by data-point.
