Dallas Marine & Dallas Reef
June 2003 - September 2004
Owner : Information Architect / User Interface Design / Web Master |
| |
This company was the culmination of my passion for Saltwater Aquariums.
Dallas Marine was a retail website to sell fish, corals, and invertebrates online. I built the site with ASP pages utilizing VBscript and a SQL database. Some XML was used to connect the Merchant Card Services to the website to have a seamless online retail application. This site was mirrored for Dallas Reef whose aim was to wholesale to the petstores. Functionality like Invoice tracking and ticket tracking was implemented in the Reef site. Needless to say, importing fish from an ever decreasing pool of reputable suppliers became a daunting task. After great losses when importing I decided to stop importation, and have since closed the store. |

LEAPnet
May 2000 - April 2001
Sr. Web Developer |
| |
LEAPnet bought SPR, Inc. an Irving based business to strategically position themselves with Broadvision to implement cutting edge websites that would integrate seamlessly with their ERP backend. With LEAPnet I had the honor of building WalMart and Sam's Club's Broadvision websites when Broadvision was the new up and comming application. With a stunning pricetag of $1 million dollars for just the software, the pricetag for the development staff was a whopping $2 million. The application was robust enough to cater to any niche in society by gathering buyer data and presenting a custom "Buyer's View" tailored to that buyer's preferences and buying patterns. Working as a designer, coder, and all around "do it now" gal, I helped implement one of the industries most viewd ecommerce applications. |
