Design and development of a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) plugin integrated with Jira, covering the complete cycle from card refinement to pull request creation with an AI-first approach — reducing manual handoffs and improving requirement-to-code traceability. As part of a COE initiative, I also act as one of the internal AI-assisted development evangelists, applying prompt engineering and context window management to accelerate delivery. In parallel, I develop and maintain event-driven microservices for the Fraud area in Clojure and Datomic, ensuring data consistency and reliability in asynchronous flows based on Kafka.

Evolved from Full Stack Developer to Tech Lead, becoming one of the team's primary technical references and mentoring developers in engineering best practices while sustaining strong individual contribution to critical projects. Led the end-to-end development of Golfleet ID, serving as the lead developer across the native Android and iOS apps and the supporting REST API.

General improvements and refinements to legacy web applications, with a focus on maintenance, performance optimization, and modernization of existing functionalities.

Experience developing web applications across both front-end and back-end services. Key achievements include creating advanced reporting features (with saving, sharing, and automated delivery), building a service for facial recognition training and management, implementing application-wide logging, and standardizing microservices deployment processes.

Maintained critical integration ecosystems connecting Volkswagen/MAN to its dealer network, ensuring high availability and data consistency. Operated a heterogeneous, legacy stack — from BizTalk Server and ASP.NET to older systems — keeping mission-critical applications stable while developing new features.

Analysis and development of internal systems, with a focus on modernizing and migrating legacy applications to more current and maintainable architectures.

Analysis and development of systems for financial institutions, with a focus on modernizing and migrating legacy applications to more robust and maintainable architectures.

Construction of the Industrial Module of the Gelt Control ERP, implementing complex business rules for Production Planning and Control (PCP) and Inventory Control.
