During my time at Kingsbridge, I have worked on several PHP & Laravel projects, initially I was tasked with integrating Open GI Transactor API rating engine to support the quote and buy process of the main insurance platform. When I started the project, it was a year behind schedule, however, within my first six month contract the project was completed. While working on the transactor project I was given the opportunity to improve the AWS environment, when I started it was a single VPC with production and testing EC2 instances along with related RDS etc. I created separate VPC’s and migrated the EC2 and RDS instances to the relevant VPC and built docker scripts for the development team. This greatly increases productivity and created a robust and reliable workflow.I also developed the Kingsbridge internal IR35 quote and buy application in VueJS, this makes use of Laravel APIs for rating and quotes, and is hosted in AWS. This project also required the integration other 3rd party API’s such as the UK GOV companies-house, stripe and Slack. In 2021 I took over as scrum master and technical lead, during this time I worked with the project management team and product owners on core deliverables. This included delivering new functionality and bug fixes across ten products, I also attended the global weekly meetings with our US owners to provide updates on progress and report any issues.
