I’ve changed industries to work in the Foreign Exchange and Stock Exchange landscape, a new and exciting domain for me. I’ve been welcomed by a small but very experienced Java team with a focus on code quality and performance. There was a lot to learn about the Foreign and Stock Exchange industry, a challenge that I embraced fully. I got up to speed with the business practices and was able to make valuable contributions to the project.Key Achievements:• As the lead developer on the team, I was behind the main technology decisions and determined the optimal path to meet our requirements.• My tasks were split between Java API backend and the ReactJS frontend. I enjoy having the big-picture overview on the project, it allows me to make contributions to the project such that all components work seamlessly.• I used Apollo Server and GraphQL technologies, for the BFF layer, to transform the backend data to a friendly format for the UI. Apollo Client libraries and ReactJS hooks were developed to connect to the BFF layer.• I used Spring Webflux to implement an asynchronous client to call multiple APIs and agregate the results.• I’ve implemented a few generic frameworks to make API development easier: Generic JSON payload validation with advanced error messaging Code generation at build-time using swagger definitions. Automatic user action auditing and tracing User permission framework based on assigned AD roles (API and UI implementation)

I joined a well-established Java development Team at SRO and found a lot of passionate people about technology and programming. This team challenges me to become better and improve my knowledge in all aspects of my work. I’ve been involved in several projects at SRO and managed to integrate well, and adopt the SRO standards in a very short time. Recently, I’ve been promoted to the Microservices Team Tech Lead. I am involved in every aspect of design and architectural decisions as part of the legacy tech stack modernisation project at SRO.• I played a significant role in building the new microservices platform on OpenShift. As thekey person in charge of the proof-of-concept PoC, I suggested and successfully transitioned a production application to the new platform. This allowed multiple teams including developers, testers, and operations to learn valuable lessons on what it takes to migrate an app to the new platform.• I led the development team in transforming a PL/SQL legacy system to a Java-based microservices approach. It uses an asynchronous API pattern implemented on top of Kafka and MuleSoft Anypoint.• I developed a PCI-compliant payment system at SRO. It meets SAQA standards. I integrated Westpac's Trusted Frame solution with minimal impact on day-to-day operations.• I have shown passion and dedication by initiating and driving architectural designdiscussions with external partners. It is this passion that drives me to go beyond my Java Developer role when necessary and deliver on the architectural design front as well

I have played a key role in the delivery of the Prisoner Transport Order System (PTOS) project for the Victorian Department of Justice and Regulation using Java and Javascript frameworks. I secured the Java Tech Lead position and guided my team through the project development. After the project was delivered, I continued to implement post-go-live changes based on user feedback.Key Achievements:• Managed responses to open issues; working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to resolve issues quickly and effectively, ensuring consistently strong project outcomes.• Coordinated planning and adjustments; responded effectively to changing project scope and received positive feedback from the project client who suggested the project would not have been completed without my contribution.• Established effective relationships; built and managed relationships with client and vendor representatives, including those from high-profile public sector organisations. Established trust between key stakeholders and identified opportunities to leverage relationships to enhance project performance and delivery.• Managed a high volume of change requests; resolved a constant flow change requests over the course of my role, including significant parameter shifts for key project components. • Developed specialist tools and features; built examples of a grid to represent real-time prisoner location and movements to display a high volume of data. Leveraged technical skills to establish a solution to meet client needs.• Designed custom features to meet expectations; designed a JavaScript framework to populate tables as they were being viewed, allowing data to be displayed without pagination. Received raise from project stakeholders and the work was a key part of the project that reflected the main work area of one of the user groups.

Capabilities as a Java Developer resulted in my appointment to a senior role with Oracle in Romania. Contributed to a wide range of projects including the development of a CTI Reference Toolbar; a telephony server simulator with associated web toolbar to handle calls, integrated with the Oracle Fusion Cloud application.Key Achievements:• Designed and implemented complex user interfaces; analysed project requirements and designed UI features as well as server-client asynchronous communication architecture.• Leveraged knowledge of open source technology; assessed risks and responded to the concerns of internal stakeholders. Successfully delivered and integrated open source technology with existing Oracle products.• Coordinated bug fixes and troubleshooting; worked closely with stakeholders to fix existing bugs before being promoted to a more autonomous role associated with the CTI Reference Toolbar project.• Managed analysis and investigation; researched and identified suitable technologies for new projects, ensuring alignment between project deliverables and client specifications.• Reported directly to the Development Manager; produced high-quality reports for senior managers.

Secured a senior developer role with responsibility for managing design and development functions; performed as a consultant developer for the company’s key CC1 project which aimed to provide a unified entry point for accessing information for multiple Romanian government institutions.Key Achievements:• Integrated multiple frameworks; successfully combined features of each platform to produce a cohesive whole capable of meeting client operational expectations, and exceeding performance expectations.• Managed project hand-over; established a developer work book and support documentation to explain complex project concepts. Received praise from the client for my comprehensive approach.• Met or exceeded delivery expectations; managed development and delivered a high-quality system within ambitious deadlines, designing and producing small-scale frameworks with reusable code to accelerate implementation. • Developed and delivered a unified entry point for multiple government institutions; allowing client representatives to access key information in support of government programs and projects• Managed the design and delivery of new systems from scratch; followed MVC architecture and used Oracle ADF (client mandated) for the presentation (view) layer coupled with Spring for the controller layer and Hibernate for the model layer.

Offered Java Development position on completion of degree, played a key role in the delivery of the BCR FMS project design to facilitate the provision of financing and loans, and a range of other development projects.Key Achievements:• Developed specialist functions; designed, developed and implemented business process for credit approvals, integrating new processes into complex systems in line with project plans.• Consistently met client requirements; developed complex validation and other rules in accordance with customer specifications.• Designed advanced user interfaces; aligned user experience with operational requirements and managing coding and programming across multiple projects during my time in the role.
