GoCardless

2012 - 2018

Technologies: Ruby, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript

At GoCardless, I designed and built solutions independently and in small teams in Ruby used to process over $1bn of payments per year.

Over my six years at the company since joining as the fifth employee, I worked in a variety of roles, from running customer support to kicking off customer success to leading the partnerships team to being an engineer, on a huge range of projects.

I scoped and delivered projects from start to finish, defining requirements and working with users internally and externally to perfect the end product.

Amongst other things, I worked on:

Revamping our developer documentation to make it much easier to get started taking payments via the API (see my blog post)
Building a custom workflow for internationalising at scale
Refactoring our OAuth implementation for greater maintainability using Coach
Implementing a reusable framework for issuing encrypted JSON Web Tokens, used to securely pass information betweeen services
Creating an in-product experience to guide users through their first steps of using the service
