Mudflap provides discounts for diesel purchases for its customers (Truck Drivers) on the Mudflap fuel card or the mobile app.
Led a team to build a custom Visa Transaction Review System that detects and corrects data anomalies for Visa Card transactions. This resulted in reducing transaction errors by 90% and recapturing 65% of the Operational Team's bandwidth, allowing them to focus on high-value tasks.
Spearheaded the Merchant engineering roadmap for Mudflap’s initiative towards becoming a Factoring Company. Built the foundational Merchant KYC, accounting, and banking layers in an accelerated 6-week delivery cycle.
Proactively stabilized the Settlements Service by engineering an automated reconciliation and alerting framework. Integrated the Stripe API for missed payments, virtually eliminating manual intervention and ensuring high merchant trust.
Designed and deployed a Historical Pricing System. This "first-of-its-kind" system captures all pricing updates to leverage trend analysis to alert the team to uncommon market shifts and missed data updates, providing the business with a competitive edge in fuel pricing accuracy.
Led the technical integration of a non-SaaS external partner to automate Driver Loyalty points, bridging technical gaps between modern internal services and legacy external protocols.
Architected a Dynamic Discounting Engine that decoupled legacy pricing logic to support complex, dynamic fleet-merchant contracts. This increased platform flexibility for enterprise-level clients while maintaining 100% integrity across downstream settlement systems.
