Hello Levi,
I recently created a console application in C# that works unattended and on a configurable schedule, connects to the Amazon MWS API and downloads order data in XML format which is then imported into a MySQL database. I suppose this is pretty much the kind of application you’re looking for for Project 1 (with some additional features of course for filtering rules, emailing, etc). Project 2 also sounds similar so I should be able to develop exactly what you need.
I look forward to receiving detailed specifications, database structure, etc. Feel free to get back to me if you need more details on my skills, experience, projects, etc. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Hatim
