Responsible for event-driven-architecture guidelines. Technical implementations and define how events are valuable for the business.• Developed microservice that consumes the 150.000.000 events produced daily by hundreds of different microservices. The consumed events are inserted into a Snowflake data-warehouse. The microservice detects duplicate events in real time, creates the necessary relational tables and views when a new event is introduced, and masks all the PII data. Maximum of 1 minute delay between producing an event and it being visible in Snowflake. Compliant with GDPR and specific regulations across several countries. Serves as SSOT both to internal and external auditors.• Developed a communication system that is responsible for sending more than 2.000.000 email, SMS, inbox messages, and notifications to our customers per month. The system consists of 15 event-driven microservices each with their own responsibility.• Develop inhouse libraries to ease the work with Kafka and Avro in Java with Spring.• Develop tools for events, databases, and data-warehouses to be GDPR compliant. These solutions are created as libraries and microservices ensuring that we mask any PII data and erase the data upon request to be forgotten.• Selecting 3rd party solutions to be used in the company and evaluating such solutions before rolling them out in the company. Create strategies of how to technically adopt the solutions and how to impact the developer culture to adopt the solutions. • Mentor and teach colleagues with the concepts of software engineering. Encourage colleagues to follow the best practices in software engineering and develop clean code.• Scrum master and facilitate ceremonies. Remove impediments and ensure that the team is happy.• Conduct the technical interviews with new hires. • Prepare and present technical topics at both in-house events and public events. Show less

Our algorithms would be applied to the data in real-time togive instant feedback to the rider.• Developed microservices for the users to access all their training sessions froma web browser. The microservices was developed using Java, Spring, Hibernate,MySQL, Thymeleaf, Highcharts, and JavaScript. The service was running inAWS EC2 and used S3 and RDS to store the raw data and calculated trainingsessions after the algorithms were applied to the raw data.• Developed platform to ingest raw data from the hardware sensors through thesmartphone applications. Typical training session consisted of 5 million dataentries.• The algorithms were prototyped in MATLAB using the native functions fromMATLAB. The algorithms and native MATLAB functions were manuallytranslated into Java to fit with the product.• Managing and leading offshore development team responsible for creating theinitial version of the iOS application that was later further developed andmaintained in-house.• The company was sold in 2019. The product was renamed to nivo.nu. Show less
