At LogicMelon, operating remotely, I held a pivotal role as a contractor spearheading the development of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for their Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) system. My responsibilities entailed engaging closely with a C-level executive / director, alongside a business analyst, to validate the technical feasibility and robustness of the project requirements.

I led the strategic initiative to identify and onboard a dedicated team of offshore developers, effectively augmenting our project execution capabilities. As the project evolved, I assumed the mantle of project management, guiding the project's transition in-house in its final stages.

My hands-on involvement was particularly pronounced in the design and implimentation of the CRM’s talentpool search functionality, showcasing my commitment to a deeply involved leadership approach and my capability to deliver high-quality, strategic outcomes in a dynamic, collaborative environment.

“During the past eighteen months of collaboration with LogicMelon, Andrew has established a remarkable legacy marked by significant accomplishments and has earned the esteem and goodwill of nearly every colleague, including myself. He consistently demonstrates exceptional professionalism, ensuring responsiveness, affability, and transparency in all forms of communication.” - Roy Hills - Director - LogicMelon

As a Co-founder and Director at Reshufl.com, I have been at the forefront of pioneering high-precision CV and vacancy parsing, as well as advanced search-and-match technology tailored for the recruitment industry. Our cutting-edge solutions have garnered international acclaim, being integral to platforms in both the UK and US, including notable names such as Job.com, Gamesmith.com, MyJobMatcher.com, and Zatillo.com.

At the helm of Reshufl’s technological innovation, I architected and developed the core of our product offerings: the CV and vacancy parser, search-and-match algorithms, predictive analytics, valuation models, and skills gap analytics framework. My leadership extended to the design and development of sophisticated dictionary management tools, employing machine learning techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency.

Subcontracted to Jobsite for the duration of my tenure, I was an integral part of a small international team tasked with the development of a next-generation search and matching system. Collaborating with a diverse, international team, we successfully delivered a cutting-edge solution designed to automate the matching process between employer and applicant profiles. My primary responsibilities included the development and maintenance of the extractor and sector matching services, overseeing software quality assurance, and performance optimization. Through my efforts, we achieved an impressive match rate accuracy of 86%, significantly enhancing matcher performance by using logistic regression techniques.

During my tenure, I was also selected to join the Smarter Insights team, focusing on big data projects to gain a deeper understanding of user behavior and market trends. In this role, I developed an innovative forecasting model capable of predicting visitor, application, and conversion rates up to 12 weeks in advance, aiding in strategic planning and decision-making processes.

My commitment to fostering strong client relationships was evidenced through regular interactions and social engagements, which helped solidify a robust rapport between our companies. My work spanned various technologies, platforms, and skills, including Java, Eclipse, Big Data, R, AWS, and many others, underpinning my versatile and dynamic approach to software development and project management in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
