Project history
I shared responsibility for business decisions, and developed and maintained all digital infrastructure, including:
- a Django backend with REST API;
- a front-end app built with Svelte;
- several GitLab CI pipelines and other Dev Ops.
My contract with YunoJuno was renewed several times, for multiple different projects; I completed the following, on a mixed Django & React platform using Heroku, GitHub and Salesforce.
- Delivered a compliance project which took contract acceptance time down from 2 days to 4 minutes.
- Designed and implemented a notes system throughout their backoffice product.
- Enhanced the client onboarding experience, improving UX and streamlining admission to the platform.
- Completely refreshed the contract renewal system, which interacted with most other areas of the app, requiring an in-depth understanding of large portions of the codebase.
- Implemented a backoffice Salesforce integration.
I built several pages and CMS extensions for a Django website for their client, MINI.
