Raleigh, NC
Web Developer
GoWireless was acquired by ABC Phones of North Carolina dba as Victra and this acquisition made Victra the largest Verizon retailer to date. I aided with the transition of the websites, 301 redirects and other digital assets. Victra was in the process of merging technology and people from GoWirless and existing assets to build the best of both companies. Victra is now the largest Verizon retailer in the US. Victra's policy required me to move to North Carolina so I chose to remain an Idaho resident. Victra's Marketing Director liked my work and pulled some strings to get me a to come back and work under the employment of their vendor Insight, bypassing the remote rules. Insight subsequently hired me and I am currently working as a Web Developer at Insight for their client Victra, my former employer.
