Contract (via Andela Talent Accelerator)

Summary

Andela is a global talent network that connects companies with vetted, remote engineers in emerging markets. Worked with Insurity LLC, a leading provider of cloud-based core system solutions and data analytics for the world’s largest insurers, brokers, and MGAs where I was tasked with the rebuilding of key geospatial data and insurance analytics applications and features in SpatialKey, one of Insurity’s flagship products

Highlights

Served as primary developer on a cross-functional team that implemented a federated SSO authentication system for Gallagher, Insurity's largest client, extending the OAuth framework to support federated JWTs, automating portal access setup for new sub-organizations, and delivering admin tooling across the full stack, federating 139 sub-organizations under aggressive timelines, directly contributing to Gallagher signing a 2-year, ~$10.5M contract renewal.

Implemented Auth0-enabled SSO for the SpatialKey product, enabling enterprise customers to authenticate via their organization's identity provider, and developed an internal admin tool for configuring authentication settings, including mandating SSO, offering it alongside traditional login, or restricting access to password-only authentication, enhancing operational flexibility for the team.

Improved the security profile of Insurity Geospatial by 80% through proactive identification and upgrade of critical packages and dependencies, significantly reducing vulnerabilities and strengthening overall resilience.

Integrated 20 hazard reports from MapRisk into Insurity Geospatial, coordinating work across backend, web, and configuration projects to deliver a unified hazard reporting system that improved risk assessment capabilities.

Adopted the Insurity Unity Design System across SpatialKey as part of a company-wide rebranding initiative, driving visual consistency across all products.

Implemented new analytics features in the Underwriting app, enabling customers to derive richer and more actionable insights from their analyses.

Rebuilt the dataset importer — a business-critical feature adopted by 50+ clients — as a modern replacement for the deprecated Flash-based importer, ensuring continued business continuity.

Collaborated in rebuilding the insurance portfolio analytics app, replacing its Flash-based equivalent with a modern, map-driven interface with user-defined configurations. The rebuilt app achieved 50%+ client adoption and contributed to the team hitting revenue targets.
