Ensono Digital

Ensono Digital is a Technology Consultancy that creates and maintains projects for clients. Whilst at Ensono Digital I Led the Front-end Team on two projects:

• Pay.UK - created a new internal application to manage bank communications. This application used React Server Components with Next.JS to create a security-focused application. It also uses Azure, AWS orchestrated by Kubernaties

cinch

Cinch was full of very talented and encouraging individuals. Whilst I was at cinch I worked on the product page of the website and also the checkout part of the website.

I saw the website grow exponentially in traffic and sales as the team(s) I was part of created new features for the site in a data-driven approach.

Product Detail's

The product details squad was hte first squad I worked with at cinch. Due to the autonomy the squads were given at the company we were able to work on what we believed was the best change for the page. Owning the page also both the frontend and the backend which included; vehicle images in a carousel, 360 interior and exterior, key features of the vehicle, full breakdown of the vehicle from make and model to specs and equipment, the part exchange, the finance calculator and also highlighted what were optional extras and the total amount of those extras for better customer transparency

When working on the Product Detail page we used Typescript and React with Gatsby with a heavy focus on A/B testing via monitoring with DataDog. The backend on the page was data using AWS lambdas, and DynamoDB with events to send async data to other microservices. To handle the infrastructure of the page we used AWS CDK to create an infrastructure as code.

Checkout

After 12 months I moved to the checkout team where our main task was to add too but also maintain the checkout journey before th customer ordered the vehicle. This responsibility was crucial as all paths would funnel into the checkout before a sale. The checkout page had all previously selected information from the vehicle to the finance and part exchange. After the overview was displayed there were many steps the customer had to validate or was promoted about if they missed it from teh previous pages. There was also an addition VAP offer before they proceeded to the order page.

On the Checkout team, we used Typescript and React with Gatsby with a heavy focus on storing car-centric data via Redux. The team used Terraform to create metrics and observability thresholds on DataDog with AWS CDK.

I was also working on a 6-month long working group migrating Gatsby to Next.JS for the main website. This also incorporated NX to separate concerns per feature of the website.

All AWS Lambdas run using Express and Node.
