Matthew De Dominicis is one of our highly talented consultants on client assignment. He was recognized by his line manager for the excellent work he has been doing and won #August Consultant of the Month for #Canada 👏 "I’m currently on client assignment as a Full-Stack Developer in the Commercial Lines department for an insurance client. My role involves developing new features, fixing bugs, and addressing security vulnerabilities for applications, with a focus on APIs that use AI to streamline the quoting process for underwriters and brokers across Canada. I joined FDM in 2022 through the IT Operations Practice, where I trained in automating deployment pipelines and managing cloud infrastructure. The skills I'm gaining at FDM, including Java, SQL, Spring, and Jenkins, are central to my daily work. FDM also equipped me with problem-solving skills that have been crucial to my success, allowing me to adapt to new technologies and grow beyond my initial role. One of my proudest achievements is building a new application from scratch with my team. We overcame challenges, learned new technologies, and delivered the project ahead of schedule. Looking ahead, I aim to advance to a senior position where I can mentor new developers and eventually specialize in application architecture and cyber security.” #WeAreFDM #COTM
