Ricardo.ch is a leading C2C and B2C marketplace in Switzerland, with stunning 5M+ users. I joined a team of four people to re-engineer the entire bookkeeping and accounting system. The legacy system was mostly in SQL, and I managed to migrate it to a new microservice-based one, with Rest APIs in Go and Java, Kafka, and a React front-end.
Assisted Wall Street Systems in building their next-generation solution for cash management. I was involved in designing the architecture, as well as back-end design and development in Java. Optimized the build/test/installation automation, and flew to lead the deployment and troubleshooting of the solution at our clients' premises.
Assisted Ericsson with the design and development of a Java backend for automated monitoring and disaster recovery for their intercontinental optical links. I had lots of fun learning the technological aspects, leading the communication bit, and playing with Protobuf messaging.
