Java Backend Developer at INGHubsPhilippines, converting SOAP services to REST and automating API tests for ING Australia’s mobile app.

Philippines

Message

At INGHubsPhilippines, I work on Future of Mobile, a revamp of ING Digital Bank’s mobile application in Australia. I convert SOAP endpoints to REST, create REST endpoints connected to a monolithic application, and automate API testing with Cucumber and TypeScript.

At FacturaSoftware,OPC, I worked on Android-based point-of-sale systems for cinemas and car organizations in Australia. I migrated environments from Docker to Kubernetes and moved API integration tests from SOAP to Postman Newman.

At ChampCargosystems, I investigated issues reported by airline clients and implemented client-requested features for a Java Swing application handling cargo shipments. I also updated reports using Jasper Reports and Crystal Reports.

Earlier, at CollaberaInc., I created REST endpoints for Sun Life Philippines’ mobile app. At DigitalServicesCambridgeLimited,ROHQ, I created a Java and Selenium tool that let testers automate tests without coding knowledge.
