Type types of jobs are configuration retrievals, updating parameters, and/or upgrading firmware on the devices. The system is to replace the existing manual process and allow for connecting to 8500+ cell relays in an automated environment. Designed and implemented the entire server side application from scratch in addition to creating the entire process for packaging and deploying the application in an automated environment.

Implemented Java Swing classes in the client application utilizing the model-view-controller design pattern for separating out the domain logic from the view and the controller.
