Working to set up my role as a Software Consultant based on my many years of experience in the general Software Engineering Industry. I intend to bridge the gaps between the How, the What, and the Why by doing the following: - Making use of my extensive experience as a Backend Java Developer - Harnessing my social nature as a team player with endless curiosity to re-enforce teams, ask the right questions, and set clear objectives - Channel my overwhelming obsession with optimisation at all levels to produce fast and stable code where there are identified bottlenecks, continuously improve the teams software development lifecycle in order to deliver quickly and without friction, advocate TDD and 100% code coverage for regression-free code-changes that help DevOps teams sleep soundly at night.

Integrated into multiple Agile/Scrum development teams on consulting missions to design, implement, test, and deliver backend systems. Scrum master helped effectively connect the Functional and Dev teams to have less regression and recurring features/bugs. Developed and maintained resilient backend REST APIs using Java, Spring Boot, and Quarkus and surrounding technologies like Liquibase, Flyway, Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, Hibernate, JDBC, OpenAPI/Swagger, Lombok, Microprofile, Maven, Docker. Worked on several migrations from Java 8 -> 11, 11 -> 17, 17 -> 21. Engineered solutions incorporating batch processing and event-driven messaging patterns within microservice and SOA architectures. Managed the full lifecycle of features and bug fixes, from requirements in JIRA to manual and/or automated unit/integration/system-level testing and delivery via GitLab and GitHub CI/CD pipelines. Collaborated, estimated, tested, and delivered Kafka Raft high-availability messaging systems with JMX-exported metrics via Prometheus. Implemented simple POC producer/consumers in Python and in Java (Angular/Quarkus Producer <-> Angular/Quarkus Consumer, Angular/Python KafkaProducer <-> Angular/Python KafkaConsumer). Collaborated, estimated, tested, and delivered Spring GraphQL server for connecting 3 different datasources and serving up the GraphQL API. Built the schema, provided test queries, custom mappers, resolvers, mapper tests, and controller tests based on GraphQLTest contexts.
