Disaster loans in days instead of weeks

The Challenge

When the SBA approves a disaster loan, the borrower has usually just lost a home or a business. The legacy process took 6–8 weeks from application to funding.

The Solution

As part of the team building lending.sba.gov, I built the payment processing application and Pay.gov integration, the disaster declaration and amendment workflows, the DocuSign integration — and the OAuth provider now used across the disaster lending platform and VetCert.

What I Built

Pay.gov Payment Processing

Federal payment rails integrated for loan disbursement and repayment.

OAuth Provider

Single sign-on I built that now serves the disaster lending platform and the SBA's VetCert service.

Disaster Declaration & Amendment Workflows

The administrative machinery that turns a federal disaster declaration into fundable loans.

DocuSign Integration

Closing documents executed electronically instead of by mail.

Outcome

  • Funding timelines measured in days, not weeks
  • In production as the federal government's disaster lending platform

Built With

Vue.js Django Python PostgreSQL Kubernetes Pay.gov DocuSign
