    Worked as a full-stack developer maintaining My10X, 10X Investments client facing wealth management platform. I worked alongside 3 experienced developers, and contributed to a project in which we rebuilt our onboarding process and replaced it with a new wizard. Each feature was rigorously unit tested, and code was thoroughly reviewed in Pull Requests. The work would then be (manually) functionally tested by a QA and reviewed appropriately for potential fixes.My favourite feature was the Takealot voucher reward for successfully referring friends to be onboarded onto the platform.Stack:Microsoft AzureReact/Redux on the front-endC# ASP.Net MVC on the back-endRedis CacheMySQL
