I get to be a part of building great things from 1's & 0's at an award winning agency with a great staff. Hands down the best company I have ever worked for with the exception of mother green ( USMC ). We have the privilege of playing a significant role in the transformation, of our client's web presence, brand ID, and business capabilities. We enable or clients vision, and make them successful, the only thing that Binary Anvil values more than the successful projects that have met or exceeded our client's expectation are the super troopers at Binary Anvil that make it happen!Recipient of the 2017 Magento Spirit of Excellence & 2013 Magento Fast & Emerging Partner Award!

Binary Anvil was selected for what I would consider a pretty exclusive group of extremely experienced agencies, with the highest level of technical competence, great leaders, and visionaries in the ecommerce implementation industry to be part of the Adobe Commerce partner council.Binary Anvil is in such good company with the other members, and we have contributed to and shall continue to contribute towards the great direction we all see Adobe Commerce going in. I waited some time to post this, over a year. Adobe is taking commerce in a great direction.I remember learning about what was then called the Magento Partner Council nearly 15 years ago when Binary Anvil became a Magento Partner.I also remember asking my Channel Manager at the time, James Williams if we could be on it. His answer was, "Well Kraft, we love you as a partner but... no way, you must have an extreme amount of ecommerce experience, and super high level of technical competence on the platform and you are just not there yet" James was right, he told us how it is and not what we wanted too here. Thats exactly how Binary Anvil engages our clients.Last year when Adobe approached Binary Anvil with the request, we were deeply honored. Really, If I am going to be honest here, for 15 years we have been building, never marketing actually, just shooting for an unreproachable level of technical competence. We achieved that a few years ago and married it up with not only a staff of super stars, but a whole lot of great process and methodologies. Wow. Thanks to Roy Rubin, Yoav Kutner, Bob Schwartz, Udi Shamay, Outi Grieve, James Williams, Becky Montemayor, Mark Levelle, Igor Kuyzk, Sebastian Gonnelli, Brian Benic and many more for the good values and faith. (The last 3 names sail under the Anvil flag now! Amazing). Thanks to each and every client that provided us the opportunity to be part of your digital transformation. Of course, the Anvil staff.Looking to next year, great changes coming.

General Web Development. Over time we started to focus more and more on Ecommerce. At this time, we would build websites in almost any CMS. As we started to focus on Ecommerce it became clear that Magento was the most extensible, flexible, and capable Ecommerce platform available. That remains true to this day over a decade later.

I was given an opportunity to spec and build my first application. It was a .net application that ran on each NOC techs machine that would distribute information related to 3rd party contractors being onsite performing unscheduled preventive maintenance. The application would allow a call to come into any NOC tech, regardless of the zone or area they were assigned to watch that day, and rather than transfer the call or place an entry in an official trouble ticket that no one read, they would simply select the cell site and place the phone number and name of the technician , estimated time on site, and type of maintenance in the application is seconds. An alert would pop up on the technicians screen that was responsible for the zone or region, drastically reducing, and almost totally preventing Nextel/Sprint field technicians being dispatched to the site for false alarms. Seeing this problem first hand, and thinking of the solution, developing and deploying the solution is until this day one of my best work experiences.Monitored, maintained, and resolved issues on Nextel/Sprints nationwide cellular network from the west coast Network Operations Center ( NOC ). Primary responsibilities included the monitoring of the nationwide network for all cell tower faults and the resolution of those faults. Monitored, maintained, configured, and resolved issues with all cell site equipment, which was primarily Motorola.Secondary responsibilities ( which I actually did more of in this role ) included working with the Management and Production Engineering to improve process primarily used by the west coast NOC, However the app the I built was deployed nationwide.
