Led full-stack development of core insurance experiences, modernizing frontend architecture, designing backend services, and collaborating closely with cross-functional groups to launch new product capabilities.

• Led migration of Quoting app to React with Redux and modern patterns; simplified state, reduced unnecessary renders, and improved perceived latency.
• Shaped requirements and shipped features end‑to‑end, balancing delivery speed with quality, tests, and observability.
• Established a reusable component library and design system (MUI + Storybook) adopted across teams; improved consistency and development speed.
• Contributed to service‑oriented architecture (NestJS + GraphQL) to decouple frontend from legacy systems, improving reliability and iteration speed.
• Raised engineering quality via PR reviews, mentorship, a11y practices, and CI gates (type safety, test coverage, lint rules).

Partnered with cross-functional Marketing and E-Commerce teams to refine user journeys and execute experiments that increased subscription engagement and growth.

• Improved the Marketplace UI by fixing bugs, refining interactions, and enhancing end-to-end user flows in collaboration with the E-Commerce team
