London Jewelers, New York — Software Developer

Created a repair capture system to eliminate the need for sales associates on the floor to fill in detailed forms by create a web client that they could use from one of the terminals on the floor. Integrated this web client with a signature capture pad that was connected to the terminals and integrated with a webcam to allow associates to take images of the items being brought in to reduce risk to the company. This solution ran for approximately 4 years after I left the company with zero outages or bugs until it was replaced by a vendor solution.
