Maria Health is an online platform providing access to healthcare for all Filipinos. This is achieved through a marketplace for prepaid health coverage as well as a matching process where small-to-medium enterprise owners are presented eligible plans from top HMOs in the Philippines based on factors such as company size, industry, and the like. This application of actuarial logic reduces the time and effort needed to present users with options side-by-side, assisting them in choosing the plan that best fits their needs.
My Roles and Responsibilities
My role
Developer (75% Frontend, 25% Backend)
Core team size
less than 20 during my employment
Responsibilities
Manage copy app (microservice API), implement designs, occasionally onboard new team members and train sales & product team to use the backend dashboard
Documentation produced
Onboarding decks for sales & product, code documentation (specifically for payment partners & glue logic)
I coded frontend pages in Angular for a year, following design spec. These included: Contact Us, Cart, various landing pages, and Plan Comparison pages.
I handled the migration to Vue and Webpack in 2017, rewriting the entire site's frontend into Vue.
I created a microcopy app in the backend, with shortcodes to every line of text in the web site. Coupled with VWO Insights A/B testing, this allowed the product team to update old copy to a better-converting text anywhere on the site, instantly from the dashboard, and without the need to go through developers. This resulted in faster conversion improvements.
I wrote documentation on how to use the admin dashboard for use by Sales and Product.
I briefly wrote Selenium tests (using the Python webdriver) for automated Cart testing.
