Application Development Advisor (Full-stack software engineering)
Cigna Supplemental Health Services (via Magnit Global) · Remote
Sole developer maintaining and extending an inherited field-quoting application and lead on the contract-generation app behind a national supplemental-health-insurance underwriting pipeline — Oracle APEX and JavaScript on the front, PL/SQL and Python on the back.
- Maintained and extended an inherited field-quoting application as its sole frontend and backend developer in the underwriting pipeline — used daily by sales, pricing, and underwriting teams — turning a customer quote into a signed contract (Oracle APEX, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, PL/SQL).
- 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 a custom 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 locally running, credentialed Python utility through which Claude and Cursor worked with Oracle databases. Other developers used this internal developer tool for database engineering and dependency analysis.
- 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.
- Coordinated four other developers on the contract-generation product through task delegation, code review, and technical direction. Gathered business requirements directly before product assumed that responsibility.
- Reduced document-generation time from more than 30 seconds to under one second by eliminating PL/SQL-to-SQL context switching.
- Implemented rate-versioned pricing, interactive dashboards, and templated Excel reporting.
