As a contracted member of a business development team, I provided technology strategy, research and project management for project PowerPlatform – a division of International Components Corporation of Chicago, Illinois.

I worked as technical project manager to help the client use then new online technologies to add value to customers, and to accelerate the prototyping and production processes of portable power components. The objective of the project was to consolidate the fragmented portable-power industry and to lead toward a larger and more strategic market (a.k.a. higher margin) for ICC.  We developed this extranet using Microsoft .NET servers including Commerce Server, Exchange, and Biztalk.
