CRM System for an Insurance Company

The client was an insurance services company that deals with life insurance quotes, term life insurance, and homeowners insurance. This company was established in 1985 to provide Americans with unbiased insurance rate comparisons. I was the full-stack developer who, alongside my team, built a CRM system for the company. I engaged directly with the client to add features, fix bugs, and enhance use cases and business scenarios.

SaaS Platform for Healthcare Clients

The product is a comprehensive digital member engagement software solution that provides customization and self-service capabilities to healthcare clients. It is a secure and user-friendly SaaS platform designed to optimize healthcare operations and member interactions driving powerful results and improved outcomes. This project considered health engagement, compliance and risk management, and critical business communications during its development. I worked as a full-stack developer on this SaaS-based product and worked in a team following scrum principles and pair programming.

Secure Private Cloud Solution

Helped develop a secure private cloud solution targeting legal and compliance-driven industries. This product is a state-of-the-art platform that delivers technology to users via the internet. I worked as a full-stack developer in a scrum team, following scrum practices and pair programming.

App for a Security Company

The client, a security company, needed an application to track their employees. With the app, they could get real-time data displayed on a map of all employees and see whether an employee, i.e., the guard, is on the site or when he checks in and checks out. They can also track all employees' history and verify where a specific employee was at a particular time. I worked as a full-stack developer on this product.
