Propel Finance - Newport, Wales

Contract developer

March 2020 to July 2020

I was brought on to help finalise the work on the new version of their tool that creates the proposals for their customers. Their entire system was built using Laravel 5 with an upgrade to 6.x. My day-to-day tasks involved communicating with business analysts in order to understand the requirements and where necessary breaking down the tasks into smaller pieces to aid a more agile development before implementing them.

A larger piece of work that I have been assigned has been helping them integrate their current system with an external service that is used to perform compliance checks. This integration has been done using a queueable job so that the requests to the external API do not hold up the user experience.
