Mastercard

Lead Software Developer

Currently working for Mastercard, developing a reverse proxy service which handles authentication and authorisation across the entire company, for both internal and external websites.

• After a year working with Mastercard, I got promoted within the same team.
• Actively involved in designing detailed design documents, architecting scalable and efficient system designs, leading and mentoring the rest of the team and ensuring that all parts of the SDLC are followed from start to finish.
• Chosen to be part of a small group within Mastercard called "Bar Raisers" to ensure that we're hiring top quality talent by conducting interviews across the company.
• Due to the nature of the product (a shared service used by hundreds, if not thousands of applications within Mastercard to handle their authentication and authorisation), security is top priority. This has always been the case in my career due to my previous roles being at a challenger bank and the New York Stock Exchange.
