I INTELIANT (QuiNCy,MA) 04/00 - 01/01
Web Developer/Analyst
F Fao Schwarz
F FAO.com is an online Toy store. Application provides an Interface
to shop by the category, brand, and
Boutique. The advanced search feature allows a customer to find the
perfect toy from FAO Schwarz.
This search feature enables you to create more specific searches than
are possible with a keyword search.
Point Of View
Developed ZebraLoan.com, which is a service that provides customers an
interface to apply for a mortgage loan, get pre-approved, and/or receive
up to four competitive offers simultaneously. The application was sent
to up to 16 mortgage professionals in the applicant's area who were
required to respond within 24 hours with competitive offers and terms.
The system narrowed down the offers to four competitive bids that the
customer was able to review, thus enabling him/her to decide which
offer, company, and broker met his/her needs. The customers could login
and check the status/progress of the loan. This information was updated
by the mortgage professional selected by the customer, so everybody
involved was able to see what was being done to get the customer to the
closing table on time.
