Nabil Alsharif

My role as an IT Architect is to focus on the various components within our system and create paths for both simplifying our system, and expanding our system to meet new requirements.

Lead the Get Access Replacement (GAR) project to build an OAuth based user management and authentication solution to replace our legacy user management system. • Design and implement the document creation, storage and retrieval systems for Say Insurance using Java, SpringBoot, RabbitMQ and a sprinkle of REST. • Upgrade, support and maintain the Shelter Insurance Android and iOS applications. This includes advocating for a differentiated and mobile-app-specific user experience. Some wins include adding the ability to attach pictures when filing a claim and Fingerprint/PIN based in-app authentication instead of passwords. • Coordinate directly with the security team to triage, mitigate and resolve (luckily minor) security incidents. • Initiate a developer community outreach program, encouraging members of the IS department to become more engaged with the local tech community. Also created internal developer lead workshops for skill sharing and knowledge transfer between branches of the IS department.

Maintain and expand the SuretyBonds.com website. Major accomplishments include: • Re-architect the site as a statically generated website enabling content writers to create complex pages without the need for programmer intervention. This has enabled the site to double in size in less than 1 year. • Add ElasticSearch based bond library to support fuzzy bond type searches. • Enable fine-grained event tracking and analytics using Piwik.
