• Led and mentored a team of 4 junior developers, conducting code reviews and raising overall team code quality and onboarding speed.
• Migrated legacy template-driven forms to Reactive Forms across the Afrisure platform in a 2-week initiative, significantly reducing form-related bugs and simplifying validation logic, debuggability, and page performance.
• Redesigned authentication and session state handling, replacing local-storage-based token management with NgRx (Store, Reducers, Effects) for a more secure and predictable application state.
• Consolidated previously separate B2B and B2C project repositories into a single monorepo, reducing code duplication and simplifying cross-project maintenance and releases.
• Designed a centralized theme-configuration system pulled dynamically from Azure, enabling instant style and logo updates across all client applications from a single source instead of manual per-app changes.
• Built a shared, custom Angular component library for navigation menus, allowing a single update to propagate automatically across every project in the platform.
• Architected state management using RxJS and NgRx, improving data flow consistency across large-scale applications.
• Integrated RESTful APIs across multiple insurance platforms, ensuring reliable data exchange with backend systems.
• Managed source control and release workflows using Git, GitHub, and GitLab — including branching, pull requests, code reviews, and merges — alongside Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
• Contributed frontend engineering to Afrisure, SwiftAnt's Azure-based insurance platform serving the Kenyan and Malawian markets, which digitized motor certificate issuance (DMVIC) and claims automation — reported to have driven a 30% reduction in policy administration costs and a 20% drop in claims ratio industry-wide.
• Delivered frontend development across multiple insurance platforms, including: CRA (claims management system), Nyala (integration with Hollard Insurance), Patabima (motor insurance marketplace for the Insurance Association), IAM Malawi (member company insurance platform), DMVIC V7 (claims management for association and member companies), and Core Afrisure (configurable insurance product development).
