I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 17+ years of experience designing, developing, and improving enterprise and large-scale software systems. My core expertise is backend engineering with Java and the Spring ecosystem, complemented by extensive experience in distributed systems, cloud technologies, data engineering, system architecture, and more recently, Generative AI.
Most recently, I have been working with Omio, a global multi-modal travel platform, where I contribute to backend services and data-driven products operating at scale. My work spans Java/Spring Boot services, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Couchbase, BigQuery, Google Cloud Platform, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD infrastructure.
At Omio, I have also been heavily involved in integrating Generative AI into production applications. I have designed and implemented OpenAI-powered content generation workflows, structured prompts, localization pipelines, bulk generation APIs, and validation processes. These solutions combine AI-generated content with large internal travel datasets to power features such as destination guides, station information, route content, and travel recommendations.
A significant part of my work involves working with large datasets across searches, journeys, routes, carriers, stations, and bookings. I design data pipelines and aggregation processes, investigate data quality and coverage issues, optimize complex BigQuery workloads, and turn large volumes of travel data into information that can be consumed by customer-facing products.
Before Omio, I spent many years developing enterprise applications in the financial services industry, primarily using Java, Spring, and JEE. I worked with global technology and consulting companies including Accenture and Ericsson, collaborating with both onshore and offshore teams and taking responsibilities as a Senior Developer and Team Lead.
I also worked as a Team Lead at a fintech startup developing a robo-advisor platform. I redesigned significant parts of the application's core architecture to address performance and scalability issues, reduce the cost of future development and refactoring, and improve the overall user experience. I designed and developed backend services using Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security, and Spring MVC.
Throughout my career, I have worked across the full software development lifecycle—from architecture and technical design to implementation, code review, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production troubleshooting. I am comfortable working both independently and as part of cross-functional and distributed teams, collaborating with engineers, product managers, designers, data teams, and business stakeholders.
My main areas of expertise include:
• Java, Spring Boot, Spring Framework, WebFlux/Reactor and REST APIs
• Backend architecture, distributed systems and microservices
• PostgreSQL, Couchbase, BigQuery and large-scale data processing
• Google Cloud Platform, Docker and Kubernetes
• Generative AI, OpenAI APIs, prompt engineering and AI-powered applications
• CI/CD, Jenkins, automated deployment and software quality
• Prometheus, Grafana and production monitoring
• System performance, scalability and architecture modernization
• Technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration
I’m particularly interested in projects where strong backend engineering meets data and AI—whether that means designing scalable services, modernizing an existing architecture, solving complex performance problems, building data-intensive applications, or integrating Generative AI into real-world products.
