| Early Wireless Projects | |
 |
WAP: Like most early
developers in the late 90's, I created wireless WAP versions of
numerous .COM websites and designed mobile information
portals for consumer applications (news, weather, sports,
traffic, shopping.) |
 |
Mobile Coupons: Developed
a merchant-driven SMS couponing service. During
periods of slow sales, local store managers used their
phone's WAP browser to determine what limited time coupons
were sent to opt-in frequent customers via SMS. |
 |
PalmNet / OmniSky: Realizing
the limitations of early WAP phones and their inappropriateness
for enterprise applications, I switched to the early Palm
wireless platforms: PalmNet and OmniSky.
|
 |
Mobile Media: Surveyed and
evaluated the cost effectiveness of Palm-based advertising
and marketing campaigns.
|
 |
Pocket CRM: On the
1st generation PocketPCs, developed wireless extensions to
existing CRM (customer relationship management) and FSA
(field service automation) systems enabling mobile workers
to access data residing on corporate enterprise databases.
|
 |
Vision Creator: Designed
and programmed a web-based application that enabled
Sprint Vision users to create their own home deck and
populate it with content from any website.
