• Led development of a full‑stack API redesign for transitioning insurance quotes into bound policies, owning end‑to‑end API design,
data modeling, and implementation; collaborated cross‑functionally to deliver a more intuitive integration experience for external
partners
• Spearheaded a major frontend overhaul of a quoting and policy‑binding interface used by internal teams and insurance partners,
introducing shareable links, refactored dynamic forms, and a redesigned multi‑page flow to improve usability and maintainability
• Built and shipped a suite of Angular/Tailwind UI components and internal tools, including user management, parameter management,
and reusable elements like tables, filters, and badges — enhancing the overall user experience and improving developer efficiency
• Developed a complete parameter management dashboard to support insurance product configurations, implementing searchable
data tables, detail views, editable forms, and shopping cart–style interactions — integrated seamlessly with backend APIs
• Influenced a key API flow decision during quote‑to‑policy design discussions, persuading engineering and product leadership to
adopt a forward‑only bind application model — reducing complexity and improving the partner and user experience
• Served as on‑call software engineer, triaging and resolving urgent production issues, customer escalations, and outages — including
a critical last‑minute launch that required rapid investigation and mitigation of a partner‑facing issue under time pressure
• Recognized as Employee of the Quarter for leading complex, high‑impact initiatives like the quote‑to‑policy API redesign and for
consistently delivering high‑quality full‑stack solutions in a fast‑paced, evolving product environment
