Abhijit I.
Last position:
Lead Backend Developer and Architect at Gloresoft GmbH
I have worked across multiple international client projects, holding senior roles including Software Architect, Senior Software Developer, Technical Lead, and Lead Backend & DevOps Engineer. My experience spans complex enterprise environments in banking, financial services, telecommunications, engineering, and automotive domains, supporting organisations such as UniCredit Bank, Telefónica O2, and BMW.
At UniCredit Bank, within the Securities Domain Transformation program, I led the modernisation of legacy monolithic systems into cloud-native Spring Boot microservices and an Angular frontend deployed on Google Cloud Platform. Beyond implementation, I was responsible for defining the target architecture, producing system architecture diagrams and sequence diagrams, and preparing API contract documentation for clients. I designed RESTful APIs and integrated Apigee for secure and reusable cross-project service consumption of APIs. I architected Kubernetes-based deployments using Helm. CI/CD pipelines were built with Jenkins, automating code analysis using Sonar, as well as testing and deployment stages. Defining clean coding principles for the project, conducting regular code reviews, and mentoring junior developers were also among my tasks at UniCredit.
At Telefónica O2, I led the transformation of a legacy call centre desktop application into a cloud-native microservices and micro-frontend solution. I actively contributed to the platform architecture, creating system architecture diagrams, component diagrams, architecture documentation, and ADRs for future references. I improved the performance and scalability of the services. I optimised AWS infrastructure costs, particularly by minimising the use of DynamoDB and reusing test environments effectively. Observability was implemented using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and Splunk dashboards. CI/CD pipelines were delivered using GitLab, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. Conducted techinical sessions for teams.

About the technology
API management
Apigee is Google Cloud’s API management platform for designing, securing, publishing and monitoring APIs. It provides a controlled layer between services and consumers, helping companies expose internal capabilities, partner services and data through consistent interfaces.
Proxies and policies
Apigee experts build API proxies that route requests to backend systems without exposing those systems directly. They configure policies for authentication, authorization, quotas, caching, traffic control, transformations and fault handling. Reusable flows and shared policies keep API behavior consistent across products.
Cloud ecosystem
The platform connects closely with Google Cloud services, but it can also front applications running in other clouds or on private infrastructure. Useful adjacent skills include REST and SOAP integration, OAuth, OpenAPI, service meshes, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, JavaScript policies and observability tooling. Former Edge environments may also require migration knowledge.
Typical delivery
- Design an API product and its proxy structure
- Connect legacy services, microservices or SaaS backends
- Apply OAuth, API keys, JWT validation and threat protection
- Configure developer portals, plans and analytics
- Automate deployments across environments
When to hire expertise
Freelance expertise helps when an API program must launch quickly, when legacy interfaces need a safer external layer or when an existing Apigee setup has become difficult to govern. Companies in Germany use the platform across manufacturing, finance, retail, logistics and public services, where security, traceability and reliable partner access matter. Specialists can support remote delivery or collaborate on site with internal teams.
What strong experts bring
Strong Apigee professionals combine platform knowledge with sound integration judgment. They ask how consumers will use an API, define clear contracts and design policies that protect performance without blocking valid traffic. Look for practical evidence in proxy design, automated promotion, incident analysis, analytics interpretation and documentation. Clear communication in English or German can make collaboration with local stakeholders smoother.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Apigee? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Apigee is used to manage APIs across their lifecycle, from design and publication to security, traffic control and analytics. Companies use it to connect applications, partners, mobile clients and internal services without exposing backend systems directly.
Apigee combines gateway functions with API products, developer portals, lifecycle governance and detailed analytics. Kong and AWS API Gateway can be strong choices for particular infrastructure models, so the right option depends on cloud strategy, integration needs, operating model and existing skills.
Apigee work often requires REST, OpenAPI, OAuth, JWT, TLS and backend integration knowledge. Experience with Google Cloud, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, observability and legacy protocols is also valuable when APIs span multiple environments.
Apigee expertise should match the project’s risk and scope rather than a fixed time period. A simple proxy rollout may need focused platform skills, while a company-wide API program calls for an expert who can shape governance, migration, security and operating practices.
Apigee projects are often suitable for remote collaboration because configuration, testing and documentation are handled through shared development and delivery tools. On-site workshops in Germany can still help when teams need to align on API ownership, security controls or legacy system constraints.
Apigee quality is easier to judge through concrete examples than through platform terminology alone. Ask how the expert handled policy design, error responses, deployment promotion, security testing, analytics and operational incidents, and request documentation that shows clear API decisions.
Apigee can manage APIs that connect to on-premises systems, other cloud environments, containers and SaaS services. The important considerations are network connectivity, identity integration, latency, certificate management and how deployments are controlled across environments.
Apigee assignments vary from proxy implementation to broader API governance and migration work. Freelancers should clarify the edition in use, environment model, backend technologies, delivery pipeline, security responsibilities, stakeholder language and whether the engagement includes support after launch.
