I've built software since 2005 and worked as an architect since 2007. Five engagements. In each one I wrote the code, not only the advice. On the larger ones I also designed the architecture, hired and mentored the engineers, and led delivery.

Super Payments

Challenge
Card fees take a cut of every online order.
What I did
Shoppers save on every order, and Super earns on every sale.Built bank-transfer payments that skip card fees. The saving goes to shoppers as a reward, and Super earns a commission. I also set up the greenfield projects with automated releases, so the team shipped often and got client feedback fast.

Wrote the API integrations, including payments for BigCommerce shops, and set up the release pipelines.
