DigiPixArt, Fairfax, VA (90% Telecommuting)/ August 2003 - June 2007 Architect / Developer for digipixart.com

The site is for professional photographers to present and sell photos. One component of the site includes converting uploaded photos for web display (using ImageMagick). Conversion jobs are performed by a cluster of custom image processing servers using JMS.

The shopping cart supports a multi-tier pricing structure based on who is ordering photos (photographers/customers) and also includes photo packages and coupons. Integrated Verisign Payflow Pro payment gateway. Integrated with photographer’s websites, making the end-to-end customer experience transparent.

Architected an image processing server and managed an offshore Ukrainian team to implement the image processing server software and a Java GUI tool for the photographers.
