Client

Direct Seguros is a prominent online insurer in Spain, focused on delivering affordable and accessible auto and motorcycle insurance through digital channels. Founded in 1997 and acquired by AXA Group in 2004, it has grown to become a trusted brand for customers seeking quick, convenient, and transparent insurance services.

With a commitment to simplicity, efficiency, and customer autonomy, Direct Seguros offers a fully online experience — from policy management to claims and customer support — all accessible via mobile and web platforms.

As part of the AXA Group, Direct Seguros benefits from global expertise while maintaining its unique positioning in the Spanish market as a digital-native insurer.

Problem:

Direct Seguros required a senior iOS developer to take over the ongoing maintenance of their mobile app. They needed support in resolving bugs, improving app security, implementing new business-driven features, and ensuring consistency across platforms.

Solution:

I was brought in as an external iOS expert to actively contribute to the evolution of the Direct Seguros app. My tasks included fixing bugs, maintaining existing modules, and developing new functionalities based on internal priorities and user feedback.

I also assessed the initial implementation, created use cases for internal QA, and delivered beta builds through TestFlight so Direct teams could test before publication in the App Store.

Additionally, I improved development and testing workflows to ensure a more stable release cycle, and worked closely with the Android team to unify UX and content across both apps, minimizing platform discrepancies and enhancing user trust.
