Projekt- und Berufserfahrung
- Ahold DelhaizeSenior Java/Kotlin DeveloperMärz 2022 - Heute (4 Jahre und 3 Monate)Amsterdam, Niederlande
- High-Performance Migration: Spearheaded the migration of REST services from MuleSoft to high-performance Kotlin/Spring Boot services, leveraging Coroutines for seamless MongoDB/Postgres integration. Some services currently handle 3'000+ requests per second, scaling efficiently during peak hours, integrated with Kafka and third party services.
- Data Ingestion Optimization: Architected a modernization strategy migrating the previous MongoDB pipeline to a Kafka-driven PostgreSQL architecture, utilizing table partitioning and the COPY command to ingest 100+ million records in under 60 minutes—slashing processing time by 80% (from 5 hours).
- Took full ownership of the development process, including writing comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Additionally, optimized scaling configurations and ensured the MongoDB cluster's resilience under heavy load by monitoring cluster performance and fine-tuning indexes for all collections. These efforts resulted in substantial cost savings compared to the previous MuleSoft implementation, which required 20-40 pods and incurred significant database expenses due to indexing/scalability inefficiencies.
- Engineered a robust Spring Integration-based service responsible for the weekly import of over 100+ million records into MongoDB within a tight 5-hour overnight window. This service has operated flawlessly for over two years, ensuring uninterrupted data import from CSV files generated by a machine learning-powered marketing tool for a grocery retail store.Managed Kubernetes deployments with ArgoCD, implemented comprehensive monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, handled incident response and on-call duties.
