About Antoine

Software Engineer | Java 21 & Spring Boot Specialist | Kafka & Cloud-Native Systems. High-velocity backend development with a focus on modern standards.

I am a Software Engineer specialized in building and maintaining scalable backend systems. With a track record of delivering mission-critical solutions for large-scale organizations like the European Commission and Proximus, I focus on writing clean, maintainable code that handles high-traffic demands.

What I can do for your project:
  • Modern Java Stack: Expertise in Java 17/21 and Spring Boot 3.x. I can help you modernize your legacy applications or build new microservices from scratch using Clean Architecture and DDD principles.
  • Event-Driven Systems: Implementation and optimization of Apache Kafka pipelines. I focus on ensuring data integrity and reliability in distributed environments.
  • Cloud-Native Deployment: Practical experience with Kubernetes (K8s) and Docker. I ensure your services are containerized, observable, and ready for production.
  • Full-Stack Agility: While I specialize in the backend, my experience with Angular and Node.js allows me to handle end-to-end integrations without "communication gaps."
Technical Ecosystem:
  • Languages/Frameworks: Java 17/21, Spring Boot 3, Node.js, TypeScript.
  • Data & Messaging: Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis.
  • DevOps: Kubernetes, Docker.
  • Frontend: Angular.
Let's build something resilient together.
