About
TalkTalk offers many services like broadband, tv packages, telephone and mobile phone services. The part of company responsible for talktalk mobile phones has worked together with Carphone Warehouse Online Solutions in time, when I was working there. I was one of two developers in CPW working on talktalk projects.
I was developing vouchers system which could be applied in checkout process to the account. I was also fixing issues with feeds and taking care of updating the website with promotions. This involved adding logical pieces of code and also styling in css and javascript the frontend changes to the design. The main project I was involved in was developing API service with Indian data center and implementing API client into talktalk website, which was responsible for catching all orders and sending them in real time to API server. This process should replace the old way of sending xml file once a day at the end of each day.
