Obie is an insurance technology solution for property owners. I worked across the stack (TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, and Heroku) to add new features, improve ease of renewal, and automate processes that help us scale more efficiently. Specifically, I was on the launch team for three new products, developed project plans for bug duty automation and form architecture, implemented flaky test improvements, and built new features to improve the user experience. I strove to embody our team value of “we show up for each other”: leading our knowledge sharing guild, collaborating cross-functionally with insurance, compliance, product, QA, and design, and going the extra mile to be a reliable, effective team member. https://github.com/AmandaHintonObie
Liferaft is a quickly growing early stage startup in the supplemental health insurance technology space. There, I tackled projects of increasing complexity while strengthening skills in frontend development, testing, product and UX decisions, app infrastructure, and API work (TypeScript, React, Django, Postgres, and Aptible). Notably, I was responsible for the launch of dental and vision insurance products on the platform, serving as product and project manager while building the frontend experience for the new products. I made significant contributions to the multi-page apply flow and broker dashboard, generated revenue, expanded our internal component library, and consistently deployed new features.
