Ciprian Radu Email & Phone Number

I am focused on Code Quality. I deliver the right things, done right!I am passionate about Computers and Sci-Fi. I am curios. I like to explore. I like to constantly learn, to improve myself. I like to take on hard challenges. I am serious, dedicated, with a strong expertise in back-end applications. I like to be as professional as I can. I am an aspiring Software Craftsman (https://manifesto.softwarecraftsmanship.org/).With a PhD in Computer Science, I started over ten years ago to explore, study and research in the field of Artificial intelligence (AI).Currently I am a Software Architect at Visma. I promote Clean (Hexagonal) Architecture, the API-First approach to building Products, Trunk Based Development and I am effectively migrating legacy software systems into Cloud Native software systems.I have a DevSecOps mindset. On a daily basis I do development (with a strong expertise in back-end applications), Infrastructure as Code (via Terraform) and I am also Security Engineer.Notable achievements:• Rewritten APIs to be standardised, using the OpenApi Specification.• Migrated applications from Payara to Spring Boot (and Java 8 to Java 17).• Rewritten the entire delivery pipeline with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Developer Tools and GitHub Actions. We obtained an end-to-end automated CI/CD pipeline that drastically improved the Delivery Lead Time.• Architected systems to use AWS Fargate instead on AWS EC2. Promoted the use of AWS Lambda (Python and Node.js runtimes), SQS, SNS, AWS API Gateway, CloudWatch, X-Ray.• Architected a scalable mocking solution solely based on AWS. This replaced a cumbersome monolith used to mock several APIs.• Drastically increased the Code Quality by using Quality Gates with SonarQube, and by promoting better testing processes.• Process for keeping all systems up to date, from a security perspective, by using services like Snyk, Coverity and GitHub Dependabot.• I improved the collaboration in the Development Team.• I significantly improved the observability of the entire Platform.

Listed skills include Research, Programming, Network On Chip, Design Space Exploration, and 30 others.
