Bridging the gap between the product requirements and the implementation, helping the product managers to understand the technical implications of product directions and the developers to understand the business flows. Suggesting and sometimes implementing solutions that achieve business needs on one hand and are elegant and maintainable, on the other.Achievements:- Identified the gap between the business model and the implementation in one of basic business modules of the system and slowly refactored the implementation and the data model to make it match the needs of the customers, while preserving the existing data integrity.- Designed and developed an abstract approach to handling the employee data in a generic way, allowing scalability and customizability of the system. Similar achievement in the area of handling the temporal data of employees.- Envisioned and developed the preliminary implementation of the framework modeling business objects of the system. This infrastructure is at the heart of two major functionalities in the product and the number keeps growing.- Developed and maintained several low level infrastructural components of the system.

Leading the vision of reworking the foundation of Kenshoo to make it robust, scalable, performant and intuitive to use. All this while continuously delivering to production.Achievements:- Envisioned, led and contributed to implementation of an abstract "persistence" layer for business entities. Orchestrated and completed the transition to it of one of the key entities.- Initiated and significantly advanced the project of modularization (untangling dependencies) of a 3M lines monolith.- Led and served as a major contributor to the development of a microservice targeted to replace an aspect of the monolith logic until its deployment to production and successful migration.

Optimizing the performance and robustness of some of the system critical flows.Achievements:- Improved the system build time and the product startup time. Contributed to Gradle and Spring projects in the process of doing this- Planned and led the refactoring of one of the data layers of the system to eliminate numerous stability issues. This included gradual data upgrades done in a continuous deployment environment- Designed and led the considerable performance improvement (up to x10) of one of the major system processes
