Acomplishments
I successfully facilitated the initial production launch for both Payfi and Woven Finance, two startup ventures I collaborated with.
I conducted an analysis on how IBM could leverage a superior CMS system compared to its previous one. I devised a strategy to maximise our utilisation of Contentful, including the development of apps to augment our usage and the implementation of Contentful code within a monorepo codebase. Within a few months, we successfully built multiple applications crucial for various cross-functional teams at IBM, ready for production.
