Senior Backend Engineer at modelmanagement.com who replaced a legacy monolith with a scalable Laravel/MySQL API.

Message

At modelmanagement.com, I architected a greenfield RESTful API that replaced a legacy monolith with a scalable Laravel and MySQL stack. I containerised the platform with Docker and orchestrated it on GCP using Kubernetes.

I drove CI/CD automation to reduce release cycle time and enforced a TDD culture that raised test coverage across the team. At bitpanda.com, I owned services from initial design through production and integrated Kafka for real-time event streaming.

At credimarket.com, I led a team of five developers and built a high-coverage RESTful API with Laravel while maintaining a legacy Zend Framework application. Earlier, I designed and deployed high-availability backend services at PrestamosPrimaGroup and built reusable libraries at uvinum.com.
