I worked at Goodlord for 6 months as a senior frontend developer. Although I learned a lot from my experience, I ultimately realized it wasn't the right fit for me. Capable of the work, I didn’t feel either party was getting the most out of the relationship.

My responsibilities included:

• Updating legacy jQuery code to modern standards.
• Incident triage and support.
• Maintaining and improving the build process.
• Building out the self-verification process, including integrating Onfido to identify users.

This was my first official role as a senior developer, and it is where I realized how much I enjoyed mentoring and helping others. During my employment, I focused on building genuine rapport with junior developers, helping to build their confidence, providing pragmatic advice and support, as well as advocating on their behalf in senior meetings.

As the sole representative of the innovation lab, I created software to demonstrate and explore new technologies. From VR to AI I had to assess a technology, build a proof of concept, prove a business case and present to clients.

• I represented the company giving talks to over 400 members of the IAFN and FLA.
• Created a Virtual Reality showroom for use at events and conferences.
• Built an AI powered chatbot development suite to allow clients to easily create their own chatbots.
