StubHub — payments and legacy backend work

At Viagogo / StubHub, I worked on backend and payment systems: payment-provider integrations, an automated payment method update platform and business logic moved from SQL Server into backend services.

Insurance payments that were going unclaimed

The platform was entitled to insurance payments that it was not claiming. I found the unused payment insurance flow by reading the legacy code and documentation and asking colleagues how it was meant to work.

I implemented the flow so those insurance payments could be claimed. Putting that existing entitlement into use contributed nearly $5M in additional revenue.

Payment-provider integrations and updates

I built payment-provider integrations using .NET Web API and gRPC. I also developed an automated payment method update platform using SQL Server queues and .NET Web API.

Moving business logic out of SQL Server

I moved business logic from legacy SQL Server code into backend services.

Supporting the team

After several senior engineers left the team, I mentored three junior developers alongside my payment and backend work.
