Cigna Supplemental Health Services (via Magnit Global) · Remote
Lead and core developer on the Oracle APEX applications powering a national supplemental-health-insurance underwriting pipeline, from quoting through contract generation.
- Lead developer on the Field Quote Tool — the entry point of the underwriting pipeline used daily by sales, pricing, and underwriting teams — and core developer on Engage, the downstream contract-generation tool, across the full tenure.
- Introduced Git and GitHub to a team with no source control, establishing the branching, code-review, and commit standards adopted across the group, with admin over 29 repositories.
- Co-designed the team's first CI/CD pipeline and led the Oracle APEX deployment-workflow integration.
- Designed and built MAKESQL, a domain-specific language and Python package that compiles PL/SQL objects in correct dependency order across environments — replacing an error-prone manual process — plus a companion VS Code syntax-highlighting extension.
- Built a Python abstraction layer over the OracleDB environments that let Claude, via Cursor Composer, query enterprise databases through a locally-running credentialed utility — one of the team's first production AI integrations.
- Authored an OCR-backed ETL pipeline using pandas and pytesseract that migrated inconsistently structured Excel pricing data — including rate tables embedded as images — into Oracle on upload.
- Mapped dependencies across 15+ applications and hundreds of database objects with graphviz and networkx into architectural reference graphs delivered to leadership.
- Led a four-developer squad: task delegation, code review, and technical direction.
