What this page does not claim

The claims above are limited to what the CV supports. To keep them honest:

  • The separate LEGO.com self-returns result (~30% fewer customer-service contacts) came from a different engagement, Full-Stack Developer on LEGO.com from Jun 2020 to Jun 2021, and is not an outcome of this migration.
  • LEGO was a client programme delivered through Deloitte Digital, not direct employment.
  • No historical dashboards or confidential architecture are reproduced.
