Architected a simplification of Edgenet's configuration system. Managed team to separate customer specific functionality and industry specific workflows from our core configuration application. Designed and validated API's to allow easy future integration into third party systems. Designed API's to allow flexibility in future use-cases.Managed onsite team of 6 and offshore team of 8System later went into production at Home Depot's 2100 stores

Started managing a team of 2 engineers and expanded this team to 10. Developed many internal development products maintained the Lowe's Production system. Started a major initiative at Lowe's to rework their sales person selling system. I lead the team over four years to release this major software platform. At it's peak it had 10 onsite developers and 25 offshore. It is in production today and has streamlined how sales associates sell product at Lowe's.

Started a web based configuration engine based on a port of Edgenet's windows based configurator. The configurator was built in java and communicated to Lowe's with custom web services. Internal communication was a high performance custom built protocol. The software allows configuration of very complex special order sales of windows, doors, window treatments, and fashion plumbing. I worked with a team of 2-3 and released it to Lowe's in 2002. Production volumes ranged from 3 to 8 million hits a day. The software is still in production and has served billions of dollars in orders.
