Things I built, and what changed

Products end to end: the screens people use, the APIs behind them and the databases underneath. Insurance, payments, manufacturing, analytics and internal tools.

    2023–24
    Star Assurance
    Lead Backend Engineer

    Increased transaction throughput by 300% and reduced policy issuance time from 5 minutes to under 3 seconds.

    Star Assurance Insurance Platform

    The legacy system suffered from significant latency during peak hours and lacked the ability to scale horizontally. Manual intervention was required for re-processing failed jobs, leading to increased operational costs and data inconsistency.

    Senior Software Engineer

    Achieved 99.98% uptime and reduced average lookup latency to under 50ms.

    SASS Motor Insurance Platform

    Integration with the national vehicle database was slow and unreliable, causing high drop-off rates during the checkout process.

    Internal Venture
    Full Stack Engineer

    Processed over 1 million records per second during stress testing with sub-second response times.

    Users needed a way to query complex datasets without writing SQL or code, and existing tools were either too simple or too expensive.

    Lead Developer

    Reduced inventory shrinkage by 15% and cut end-of-month reporting time from 5 days to 2 hours.

    The client relied on spreadsheet-based tracking which was prone to error and delayed financial reporting by weeks.
