Description

Experienced Architect and Tech Lead with over 20 years of experience in designing, evolving, and governing complex information systems, particularly in the banking, insurance, and enterprise software sectors.
Throughout my career, I have supported transformations around distributed architectures and critical systems, working on architecture structuring, cross-functional coordination, documentation, and technical management.
I also act as an interface between technical teams and business stakeholders, with a strong ability to simplify complex issues, formalize architecture repositories, and support teams in implementing best practices.
I have solid technical expertise (Java, Spring Boot, Angular, React, Kafka, cloud, DevOps) enabling me to communicate effectively with development, operations, and outsourcing teams, while providing a global vision focused on performance, security, resilience, and resource optimization (Green IT).
I also possess advanced expertise in securing Spring Boot applications throughout the entire lifecycle (SDLC): integrating best practices from development, implementing secure CI/CD pipelines, and securing deployments and runtime environments. Furthermore, I have implemented automation mechanisms for vulnerability detection and remediation (CVEs), contributing to strengthening the security posture and compliance of systems.
