About Alessio
Senior Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience specializing in high-performance Java ecosystems (Java 17/21, Spring Boot 3). Currently serving as Head of Tech for a growing startup, I combine deep technical expertise with a strategic architectural vision.
I help companies solve three main challenges:
🚀 Modernization: Moving legacy systems (Java 8/11) to modern, scalable architectures (Java 21, Virtual Threads).
⚙️ Performance & Stability: Optimizing slow JPA/Hibernate queries and ensuring system reliability through advanced monitoring (ELK, Grafana).
🏗️ Scalability: Designing and implementing event-driven microservices using Kafka, RabbitMQ, and REST/WebSockets.
Coming from high-stakes environments like Renault and the Betting industry, I’m used to managing mission-critical data with a focus on clean code and production stability. I work asynchronously and autonomously, ensuring your team hits its roadmap milestones without the need for constant oversight.
Available for part-time consulting and technical advisory. Let’s build something solid.
