About Adrian
I’m a Java developer with 7 years of experience, focused on developing, improving, and maintaining complex software where stability, correctness, and performance matter more than “fast delivery at any cost”.
For the last 7 years I have worked primarily on SNAP (Sentinel Application Platform), an open-source application in the Earth Observation / space missions domain. I contributed to the development and long-term maintenance of multiple modules and features.
I have also contributed periodically to TAO (Lightweight orchestration and integration framework for remote sensing processing).
I’m analytical, patient, and persistent, with a quality-first mindset and strong interest in solving complex technical problems through structured investigation and robust solutions.
Availability: I work remote, async only (written communication, clear deliverables).
What I can help you with (Services)
JavaFX Desktop (preferred)
- Maintenance and feature improvements for JavaFX desktop applications
- Bug fixing and stability improvements (crashes, UI responsiveness issues, regressions)
- Performance improvements (UI freezes, slow rendering, heavy TableView/ListView paths)
- Refactoring and modernization (clean architecture, testability, long-term maintainability)
Java Backend (also available)
- Maintenance and improvements for Java backend services (Spring / Java 11+)
- Bug fixing, refactoring, reliability improvements, performance tuning
- Integration work (APIs, data sources, pipelines), CI-friendly changes
