Lead Engineer / Team Lead at Critical Software, building BMW Group’s Sales Portfolio Platform and establishing an AI-first engineering framework.

Message

At Critical Software, I built and led a new six-person team for BMW Group’s Sales Portfolio Platform, which curates and publishes vehicle, equipment, and accessory portfolios. I helped establish a shared AI-first engineering framework spanning planning, documentation, backend, frontend, testing, and DevOps.

On the BMW platform, I worked across Angular, Java, and Quarkus services, and contributed to Kafka Streams enrichment pipelines and REST APIs. I also delivered frontend stories, added automated tests, and supported deployments across multiple environments.

Before BMW, I worked on banking and payment systems, including a distributed reporting platform handling around three million ApplePay transactions per day. I developed reporting capabilities, strengthened critical-scenario test coverage, and supported production systems and database migrations.

At Critical Software, I spent years on telecom engagements including Cramer for Vodafone Portugal, where I led a mission-critical team and became a technical reference for the Vodafone ecosystem. I designed and built a data-center equipment API and optimized Oracle queries, with documented performance improvements of up to 80%.
