  wBridge Dialogvoice-enabled web applications I developed a complete voice web application that delivers messages to targeted customers and allow those customers to retrieve their messages via voice web platform. VoiceXML, ASP, and SQL stored procedures were used to implement the call flow and store customer requests. The speech recognition software in Nuance 7.0 was utilized to capture customer input. I created an ASP module to parse client message request files and load customer and delivery tables. I used Visual Basic 6.0 to develop an application that allowed operations to define targeting requirements, create the list of customers that meet targeting requirements, and initialize the delivery of messages to those customers. In order to meet sales needs, I developed a VoiceXML solution that allowed sales people to initiate message delivery while showing the application to potential clients. wZing BatProduct Sales Site - Zing BatThis site sells the Zing Bat.   The Zing Bat is a revolutionary new bat to train any player to achieve the perfect swing.  The site currently provides information on the product, training sequences in using the product, and an online order form.  Future plans include credit card ordering and online training videos.wKraft Foods North AmericaProcurement Application Conversion As project lead in the eProcurements group, I created proposals for PowerBuilder and Web conversion projects that adhered to KFNA's version of the Method-1 methodology.
