In five years at Kavod, he completed dozens of successful web sites and built an array of ancillary software, including advanced shipping integration software such as Business::Shipping; featureful promotion systems that handle sales, discounts, coupons and more; modular item configuration software such as the computer customizer; and an ERP integrator that synchronizes millions of records from denormalized legacy data files with modern 3NF databases in seconds. |
