As a Staff Engineer and Software Architect at OMERS since May 2021, I specialize in transforming legacy systems into modern, efficient architectures. Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, my primary project involves revamping a pension fund management system through a microservices-driven approach. My role encompasses designing and implementing key services, including orchestration (employing the saga pattern), scheduling, and business validations, among other functionalities.Leadership is a significant aspect of my work. I guide my team in an Agile environment, focusing on the timely delivery of high-quality features. This role has been instrumental in honing my expertise in microservice architecture patterns using Java Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, GCP.Previously, as a Senior Software Engineer at Xtiva Financial Systems, I worked on a CQRS event-driven microservices system using Java with the Akka framework, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Cassandra. At EBlock, I contributed to server-side development for an online vehicle auction and trading application, utilizing Spring Boot and GraphQL.My tenure at RBC further broadened my skill set, where I developed Java Spring Boot services and Kafka streaming applications. Early roles at Playtika, ZoomCo Media, Fortis Labs, and Sapiens provided a solid foundation in software development, covering both backend and frontend technologies.My technical toolkit is extensive, including Spring Data, Hibernate, RESTful Web Services, distributed systems like Apache Kafka, cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP, and front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am proficient in applying design patterns and software design principles to develop scalable and robust software solutions.I am committed to continuous learning and adapting to new technologies and methodologies, striving to enhance my skills and contribute effectively to the organization.
