I’m a Senior Java Backend Developer with 7+ years of experience building, enhancing, and stabilizing enterprise backend systems.

At Thales, I developed Java and Spring Boot features for 5G services and investigated a critical Orange France OTA issue affecting a campaign of approximately 700K targets. I implemented message persistence and retries, reducing message loss from 10–20% to zero and earning the H1 2024 DES (THINK BIG) Award.

As a Software Engineer at Thales, I diagnosed a multi-node cache mismatch during a production crisis and built a custom LRU caching solution that restored platform stability. This contribution to the Bouygues Telecom OTA crisis earned the H2 2021 DES Award.

I’ve also developed backend components for 5G and OTA services, supported reliable production releases, and mentored four junior developers. I use a unit-testing-first approach with JUnit and work with stakeholders to assess changes and reduce regression risks.
