Industry Context

The Client is the premier national provider of mortgage services

Engineer: Product Engineering & Development, rearchitected and delivered the next major release of the platform, enhancing its core functionality. DevOps, supported the migration towards a rapid delivery model. Quality Assurance, ensured the quality and speed of all development throughout the process
Engage: Digital Experience, reengineering existing product suite to rich UI using Bootstrap, Angular
