As a tech leader, I have embraced real challenges, recognizing that the technical aspect is a crucial factor in tasks such as migrating monoliths and refactoring microservices to optimize resource consumption. However, I firmly believe that the human element, encompassing cohesive teams and fostering effective communication, is equally vital to success. Throughout my experience as an individual contributor, advisor, and technical lead, I have honed my ability to comprehend both the needs of the team and those of our clients. This unique perspective places me in an advantageous position to navigate complexities and deliver exceptional results.
As a software engineer adept in both front-end and back-end development, I possess a versatile skill set that allows me to effectively implement, mentor, advise, guide, test, monitor, and design real solutions. In an ever-evolving role, I embrace change and readily adopt new technologies and platforms to deliver high-quality software in the competitive landscape of the industry. My adaptability and continuous learning ensure that I stay at the forefront of emerging trends, enabling me to provide innovative and cutting-edge solutions to meet diverse challenges.
With extensive experience spanning from Java 6 to the latest Java 17, my journey in Java projects has evolved over the years. My proficiency encompasses a wide array of Java versions, including Java 8, Java 11, and Java 14. My expertise extends to various facets of the Spring Framework, demonstrating a strong grasp of Spring Core, Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Webflux, and Spring Cloud, among others. Moreover, my capabilities encompass seamless integration with diverse systems and databases, including Apache Solr, Kafka, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. Programming in java has become very interesting with functional programming, and more over reactive programming, that's why I like to mention since this is becoming challenging in Java ecosystem projects.
Node.js stands out as a versatile platform that seamlessly bridges both front-end (FE) and back-end (BE) development landscapes. My preference leans towards leveraging Node.js predominantly with JavaScript, contrasting its dynamic nature with my background in the imperative and typed realm of Java. This choice aligns with my inclination towards its complementary counterpart. Express and KOA emerge as my favored companions within the Node ecosystem, further enriched by hands-on experience with libraries like AJV. Delving into the core of Node, I've gained a nuanced understanding of its essential components, including libuv, workers, child processes, streams, and buffers. My intrigue extends to the potent capabilities of socket.io, which I find exceptionally well-suited to modern-day demands. Drawing on my Java expertise, I skillfully integrate Node.js with an array of technologies encompassing Kafka, SQL, NoSQL databases, caching mechanisms, and more. This affords me a comprehensive toolkit to orchestrate seamless interactions across various tech stacks.
My journey in frontend projects and web development began with vanilla JavaScript sites, where jQuery was the primary tool for DOM manipulation. In more recent years, I explored Angular projects, but the advent of React and its inherent potential resonated with me, leading me to fully embrace the capabilities of this elegant library. Currently, my expertise lies in React.js and something of Next.js, leveraging its strong foundation to craft components adhering to atomic design principles, and seamlessly integrating hooks to enhance functionality. My affection for CSS endures, rooted in its significance since my early days in web development, making it a creative realm I thoroughly enjoy exploring and experimenting with.
Cloud computing has emerged as a pivotal field with high demands on developers, necessitating expertise in platforms like AWS. Personally, my journey has been engaging as I've delved into AWS, amassing substantial experience across a range of services, including ECS, EC2, Lambda functions, SQS, SNS, Route53, and Secret Managers. My proficiency lies in utilizing cloud formation, particularly with TypeScript and JavaScript, as I find this approach more adept for orchestrating services compared to tools like Terraform. While I've also ventured into GCP, my mastery remains more substantial in AWS, enabling me to provide proficient support and guidance, even though I possess a comprehensive understanding of GCP's service landscape.
In my role as a Tech Lead, I have consistently demonstrated expertise in orchestrating and connecting critical reactive services, crafting robust event-driven architectures utilizing tools like Kafka. My experience extends to seamlessly integrating powerful search engines such as Elasticsearch and Apache Solr, enriching the systems I've contributed to. My proficiency is equally pronounced in diverse programming languages including Java and Node.js, underscoring my adaptability and versatility in architecting solutions across different tech stacks. Furthermore, I've championed the adoption of clean architectural principles, instilling a structured approach that fosters maintainable, modular, and well-designed systems. This combination of skills has allowed me to elevate the architecture of projects I've led, ensuring the delivery of high-performance and scalable solutions.
My expertise spans across prominent Content Management Systems (CMS) including AEM and Contentful, where I've successfully delivered cutting-edge systems that push the boundaries of innovation. In addition, my proficiency extends to Salesforce Commerce Cloud (formerly Demandware), a platform I find particularly enjoyable to work with. My experience in these CMS/e-commerce platforms highlights my ability to drive impactful solutions, demonstrating my adaptability and skill in crafting dynamic digital experiences.
