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.

As part of an in-house development project, a pipeline for automated lead generation was created as the second stage of a preceding system for project monitoring. Based on a list of freelance project URLs (freelancermap), qualified lead records are generated, including company, contact person, official and personal email address, and the appropriate form of address (informal/formal). The technologies used were Python (openpyxl, requests) as well as an LLM agent workflow in VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat) with a custom slash command and extensive rule set; search APIs (Serper.dev) are connected for research. My tasks included the full concept and development. The core is a rule set of around 480 lines that guides the LLM agent deterministically through extraction, website and email lookup, duplicate matching (against existing provider lists), and the creation of a structured JSON output. Deterministic steps (Excel matching, web/email search, pattern derivation) were moved into Python helper scripts. Other requirements included validating the results through versioned blind runs against a reference, iterative refinement of the rule set, and a swappable search provider layer for cost and stability reasons.
