summary
Built an MVP in seven weeks and iterated it into a live product that served over 2 million quotes and insured ~160 non‑owners while the team grows from a handful to dozens. Uses Django + Django REST Framework for APIs and admin, React and React Native for web and mobile, and hosts on Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, CircleCI. Replaces flaky Selenium tests, cuts CI time by running only relevant checks, adds migration scanners, centralized logging (Filebeat/Elasticsearch/Kibana), Zipkin tracing and Swagger docs.
