Description

I am an experienced Software Architect. I am doing this role in different contexts for 13+ years, using mostly Microsoft technologies (.NET/Azure etc.), I have designed and led the implementation of complex software systems across various industries, including Energy, Finance, Healthcare, Business Productivity Tools, and Insurance.

These projects involved distributed systems designed for long-term, incremental development, facing common challenges to ensure success: on time, within budget, and without defects.

My most recent experience was designing and leading the implementation of a resilient system in the Energy field. The system enables Grid Balance Responsible Partners to trade ancillary services with a Transmission System Operator (TSO) and to trade power on the Power Exchange. The system is designed to be deployed and operated both on-premises and on any public cloud.

From my extensive experience, I have developed a set of methods, techniques, and training materials that lead to predictability and reduced cost of change in software development.

I founded Code Design, a consulting agency that leverages my experience and training materials to help companies succeed in their software development projects.

January 2022 - January 2024 (2 years)
Architect and design an Energy Trading System which will operate in the Nordics, Europe, and US markets. The system enables grid balance responsible parties to trade ancillary services with the Transmission System Operator of a given country and trade power on the Power Exchange.

A green field project where I have worked closely with the Product Manager and the Development Team to define the solution and the architecture. Taken the design lead, technology lead and influenced the development process.

Main quality requirements:
- Security
- Resilience
- High Availability and Reliability
- Deploy and operate in any public clouds and also in on-premises data centers
- Operate as SaaS and as stand-alone.

The system is designed for Long-Term Development, allowing to be developed and enhanced for years, with a changing development team, at high efficiency.

Key achievements:
🔹 Making an architecture based on non-functional decomposition that does not change
🔹 Building the #DependencyGraph of the development activities that bring visibility in Project Design and Planning, which served as blueprints to track progress and meet delivery milestones
🔹 Designing a system that allows the same version to be deployed and operated on any Public or Private Cloud
🔹 Creating a system accessible from both the internet and intranet (private network) at the switch of a button
🔹 Developing a CI/CD Strategy for granular deployment across different customer clouds with staged testing environments
🔹 Designing a component that discovers and publishes #gRPC services, and simplifies calling them to a function on a C# interface
🔹 Designing and implementing a #Messaging Framework on top of #RabbitMQ, hiding its complexity
🔹 Creating a #WorkflowEngine for #LongRunningProcesses that uses queues for activity work distribution and state persistence

Main technologies used are: .NET, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, Identity Server, SQL Server, MongoDb, Angular, Grafana/Loki/Prometheus
