I worked for a healthcare startup that interfaced with a lot of large insurance companies. They had no API access for their patient information and would just give us credentials to ancient web portals instead.

I wrote my own browser automation scripts to create our own internal patient API. Ended up reducing claim billing errors by a ton and resulted in 6 figures a month in additional revenue.

What impact did the 6 figures in additional revenue bring to you personally vs. the owners of your startup? How were you acknowledged or compensated for this feat?

Honestly I was a brand new hire and it was my first real engineering job so I gained nothing from it. At the time I had no idea how to advocate for myself or my accomplishments. Big lesson learned.
