Director Of Information Technology
CurrentAs the mentor overseeing the in-house technical team at DevNative, I am currently spearheading the execution of the 'Life Quote Tool' project for a US-based client. This involves the supervision of an agile team consisting of 8 engineers who are dedicated to the migration of the company's legacy flagship and desktop-based product to a cutting-edge microservices-based web application. This transition is facilitated through the utilization of React, Node.js, and AWS technologies.In the course of this project, I successfully implemented a caching mechanism in Node.js, S3, and Lambda, resulting in an impressive 80% reduction in database calls. Additionally, I seamlessly integrated the Braintree payment gateway and engineered a dynamic template-based email integration within the application. This feature empowers sales agents to efficiently dispatch details of insurance plans to customers for their comprehensive review.In the initial stages of my tenure, I contributed as a pivotal member of a 5-person agile team tasked with the development of DevNative's client Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This CRM serves as a robust platform for selling policies offered by over 30 insurance carriers in the United States. Employing the MVC pattern, we architected the CRM, transforming the backend into a resilient microservices architecture using Node.js. Simultaneously, the frontend was revamped utilizing React.js, complemented by Redux and React Query for enhanced functionality.
