Project history
Contributed to the design, development, and modernization of a Spring Boot-based contract management system for the European Parliament. Designed and implemented integrations with external systems at the European Commission using SOAP and RESTful web services. Developed user management, group memberships, and role-based access control functionality. Led maintenance, production support, and multi-environment deployments within Agile/Scrum teams. Played a key role in modernization initiatives including migration from Spring to Spring Boot, Java 8 to Java 11, and JSP to Thymeleaf.
Contributed to the transformation of e-Parliament platforms towards a microservices-based architecture, enabling scalable and modular document processing systems. Designed and developed RESTful microservices for legislative document lifecycle management. Ensured system reliability through production support, issue resolution, and coordinated deployments. Played a key role in Spring Boot adoption and migration from monolithic to microservices architecture.
Contributed to lending platforms at the European Investment Bank, developing contract appraisal workflows and enterprise search capabilities. Designed and implemented a Lucene/Solr-based search solution enabling real-time search, ranking, and contextual filtering. Developed front-office lending applications using Java EE and JSF. Resolved 200+ production tickets within 200 days and delivered a key module 30% ahead of schedule.
