With 20 years’ experience delivering and supporting enterprise Java and JEE applications, including customer-facing services in regulated insurance and financial environments, I am drawn to the opportunity to guide engineering across platforms where reliability and customer service matter. In my current role at Cedarbridge Assurance Technology, I set technical direction for customer policy and claims services across several delivery teams. One example is the introduction of Kafka event flows for policy and claims updates, with failure handling and monitoring to strengthen resilience and scalability in business-critical processing. I have also led root cause analysis of production incidents, bringing engineering and operations evidence together to resolve underlying faults and prevent recurrence. My experience covers the technical requirements you describe: Java, JEE, object-oriented design and SOLID principles ; AWS integrations using S3 and Redis; PostgreSQL design and SQL optimisation ; and systems integration involving LDAP and certificates. I have strengthened delivery through Jenkins pipelines, Docker images and Kubernetes deployment patterns, supporting work from design and testing through release and ongoing support. I would value the chance to contribute this experience at Northbridge Mutual Systems. The role’s combination of enterprise integration, customer-facing insurance services and technical leadership aligns closely with my work in policy and claims platforms. I have also coached engineers, established shared standards through design and code reviews , and worked with architects, product teams, delivery managers and partners to turn business needs into practical technical decisions. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience could contribute to Northbridge Mutual Systems’ engineering work.
