In-house CEM Tool

I developed a customer experience management platform which is used by major automobile clients throughout the world. It includes everything from ETL processes originating from a DMS to rich analytical reporting involving different dashboards and detailed reports. It's used by thousands of auto employees worldwide to ensure customer satisfaction and by auto companies to accredit dealerships and pay bonuses.

Jiggerz

A location-based app to allow friends to help you run errands and/or messages when at specific locations.

For example, you were allowed to ask a list of friends to pick a pizza from a specific location; if any of those friends were near that location, they would get a buzzer intimating them that you have asked for that pizza. Similarly, you could be notified to meet your friends who are at the same location.
