• Added new features to improve donor and recipient experience.
• Fixed bugs, improved security, and added reporting tools.
• Contributed frontend changes and backend API updates.

A key piece of work involved refactoring the platform to support multiple shopping sections (Women, Men, Children) in a consistent and scalable way, without duplicating logic across sections.

The platform had evolved organically over time, leading to inconsistent navigation structures, category rules, and legacy data behaviours that needed to be unified without breaking existing functionality.

I introduced a configuration-driven architecture that centralised section-specific behaviour — routing, navigation, breadcrumbs, and API filtering — into reusable logic shared across the application. This resulted in adding a Menswear section (which previously didn't exist), a more cohesive user experience, and a more maintainable codebase.

At Answer Digital (a mid-sized consultancy of ~80 people), I worked as a consultant developer for 3 years, contributing across multiple projects, mainly in the health sector. I alternated between agile teams of up to 10-15 people and working independently with external clients, including a Chinese bank and several NHS trusts in Manchester and London. Alongside project work, I was also part of the Answer Academy, where I mentored junior developers through workshops and code reviews.

Worked on a Microservices-based Java application to help NHS Trusts comply with national data opt-out regulations:

• Developed and tested full-stack features for a national health data system.
• Integrated the service into NHS infrastructure (Windows Server, MESH API).
• Worked with datasets spanning hundreds of thousands of patient records, ensuring compliance with NHS data standards
• Gathered requirements directly from NHS clients.
• Led and mentored two junior developers.

Successfully delivered a secure and reliable system, meeting NHS deadlines and compliance standards, enabling Trusts to comply with national opt-out regulations.
