Svea Ekonomi – Backend Developer

Context

Svea Ekonomi was my first assignment as a freelancer. I joined the team building Svea Checkout, a payment solution rolled out in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Besides backend development I coached the team in TDD and executable specifications.

Work

Backend development

Built and extended APIs using C# and ASP.NET Web API
Applied CQRS to separate reads from writes
Worked with Entity Framework for data access
Contributed to deployment workflows using Octopus Deploy

Engineering practices

Introduced and coached test-driven development
Rewrote existing tests as executable specifications so they described behaviour
Automated most of the API documentation, which had been written by hand
Worked on the team's continuous integration setup

Results

Svea Checkout rolled out in Sweden, Norway and Finland
API documentation generated from the code instead of drifting away from it
