What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive business growth and innovation.

As a seasoned software developer with over 25 years of experience, I have a proven track record of delivering mission-critical business applications for companies across various sectors, including retail and finance. My expertise lies in implementing and rolling out scalable solutions, with a strong focus on learning and getting things done.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a range of technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture. I have a strong understanding of enterprise integration, having worked on projects that involve connecting multiple systems and APIs. My experience in troubleshooting and deploying systems using tools like Splunk, Dynatrace, and ELK has been invaluable in ensuring the smooth operation of complex systems.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have also honed my leadership skills, having managed external development teams and provided IT support for various organizations. I am confident in my ability to design and implement REST API microservices-oriented applications that meet the needs of businesses.
