Lead Developer
Accenture
(Public Company; Computer Software industry)
March 1994 — November 1995 (1 year 9 months)
I was part of the Davinci team. The goal of the Davinci project was to build a prototype which Accenture could use to explain to their customers the transformative potential of the internet. We had SAP and Netscape as partners. The scenario we selected was around supply-chain integration and optimization.
* Built one of first integration points between the Netscape Web Server and SAP R3 to allow users to see product inventory and shipping status through a web browser.
* Refactored the initial implementation into a more generic gateway allowing web applications to access SAP's internal modules. This became the foundation for what SAP calls today BAPI.
* Presented the prototype to 700 Accenture customers (both in the USA and in Europe).
* Received the Davinci MVP award for overall contribution.
This was an amazing project/opportunity which allowed me to take the internet wave at its very beginning and allowed me to work with an extremely talented team of people.
