Herff Jones engaged with Roundarch in 2011 to help design and develop a new e-commerce experience for their scholastic product line. This effort included a massive integration of back end ERP systems into the site, as well as defining an architecture to support portals for each sales rep to customize products, pricing, and content specific to the schools and territories they represent.

Adam was the Technical Director of the technology program on this account. He oversaw several teams responsible for front end implementation, middle tier business logic, a customized enterprise CMS, integration to existing ERP systems, and the build of a custom 3D engine to visual class rings.

The Scholastic E-Commerce Site was built using Bootstrap, Less (and many other HTML/JS/CSS libraries), Java Spring Web MVC, Hibernate, Adobe CQ, a custom 3D engine built in Adobe Flash, and MS SSIS.

Recommendation based on this work:

“Adam is a strategic thinker and brought a wealth of experience and practical knowledge to the project. He always had a positive attitude to solving problems, shared best practices, and could always be reached for counsel.” October 1, 2012

He defined the foundational architecture for the Flex Browser Application and worked with lead Flex developers to define the system architecture for the mobile and tablet efforts. The team also integrated several features with the organization’s enterprise CMS.

In early 2009 Roundarch and Tesla Motors partnered together to work on concepts for the Tesla Model S in-dash experience. The prototype used a framework that Adam co-created called Merapi. This framework enabled the dash user interface (an Adobe Flex/AIR application) to integrate with hardware in the car.

Adam helped implement the ideas Tesla and Roundarch conceptualized. This code was deployed into the working prototype car, which was showcased at many conferences featuring the early Model S. Adam worked with Dave Meeker, Zach DeBord and other colleagues at Roundarch on this project.
