Liferaft is a quickly growing early stage startup in the insurance technology space, which provides individuals and groups with supplemental insurance options. There, I tackled projects of increasing complexity while strengthening skills in frontend development, testing, product and UX decisions, app infrastructure, and API work. Notably, I was responsible for the launch of dental and vision insurance products on the platform, serving as product and project manager while building the frontend experience for the new products. I made significant contributions to the multi-page apply flow and broker dashboard, generated revenue, expanded our internal component library, and consistently deployed new features.
