Project history
As a Java Migration Engineer at eBay, I worked on migrating multiple microservices with Angular front ends, developed in Java, Kotlin, and Python, from on-premises infrastructure to AWS. I collaborated closely with a dedicated DevOps team responsible for databases, Kafka clusters, routing, and gateways, while focusing on the application-level migration from a Java engineering perspective.
My role emphasized ensuring performance, scalability, and security in a cloud-native AWS environment. I refactored and fixed Java, Kotlin, and Python code to ensure AWS compatibility, implemented minor functional enhancements, and supported operational readiness post-migration. I also created and maintained Grafana dashboards to monitor service health and performance.
Key contributions included leading microservice migrations with minimal downtime, transitioning secrets from Vault to AWS Secrets Manager, and integrating services into AWS-based CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, ArgoCD, Jenkins, and AWS CLI. I documented migration processes, challenges, and solutions to support knowledge sharing and future migrations.

As a Senior Java Developer working as a full-stack engineer on a security provider project at Pentalog France, I contributed to the development and maintenance of a platform focused on recording employee activities, generating hardware reports, and supporting security-critical workflows. I worked in a distributed Agile team with Romanian developers, UK engineers representing the client, and Indian DevOps specialists.
My responsibilities covered the full development lifecycle, from translating business and technical requirements into reliable implementations to developing new features and fixing defects. I actively participated in architectural discussions, proposed technical solutions, and collaborated directly with the client to clarify requirements and analyze reported issues.
I took part in system acceptance and validation phases, ensuring delivered functionality met quality and performance expectations. I also supported handover and operational activities by producing clear technical documentation to facilitate maintenance and long-term support. Regular participation in architecture and coordination meetings with international teams strengthened my communication skills and ability to contribute effectively in English.

Developed a monolith application as part of a project team using Spring Boot for back-end and Angular 11 with PrimeNG for front-end. The application was containerized with Docker and deployed to AWS for production.
My primary responsibility was developing the Synchronization module, designed to replicate data and versions across all application instances. I participated in the architecture team to create Low-Level Design documentation and collaborated with a colleague to develop the module. A key challenge was implementing a conflict resolution system for the Synchronization module.
Key Responsibilities:
- Translated software specification requirements into developed or customized standard software products
- Implemented change requests and feature enhancements
- Participated in system acceptance processes through direct client cooperation
- Contributed to handover and operational maintenance activities with comprehensive documentation
- Engaged in architecture meetings with Spanish and Romanian teams in English
