○ GCP Microservices Overhaul: Technical leadership in refactoring the backend toward an asynchronous modular architecture (Python, FastAPI, multiprocessing) deployed on a Kubernetes cluster.

○ Data Engineering: Massive ingestion of IoT telemetry via MQTT. Automated real-time failure detection (Outage management) via Apache Flink streams on Apache Kafka.

○ Observability: Complete supervision of financial and industrial infrastructure with real-time alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry).

○ Event-Driven Architecture & Trading: Architecture and development from scratch of a microservices backend core in Python / FastAPI for algorithmic order execution on intraday and day-ahead SPOT markets (Nord Pool) for a fleet of 800 BESS (1 GW).

○ Low Latency Streaming: Implementation of an ultra-resilient event-oriented architecture via Apache Kafka on GCP infrastructure for asynchronous processing of market signals and instruction routing (380 billion data points processed per year).

○ Reliability & Security: Strict software implementation of regulations (FCR, aFRR). Encryption and secure interfacing with RTE and Fingrid telecontrol systems (ICCP/TASE, IEC 104-5) and auction platforms.

○ Engineering Culture & Quality: Strict application of Clean Code principles. Implementation of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) requiring high test coverage (Pytest) and extensive Code Reviews to ensure regression-free deployments.

• ● API Overhaul & Development (Flask): Ownership of a legacy codebase (10 years). Massive object-oriented refactoring (Clean Code, reduction of technical debt by 60%). Development of new internal APIs in Flask for the client portal.

• ● CI/CD & DevOps: Strict use of Git Flow methodology, test integration and deployment automation under GitLab CI.

• ● Data Engineering: Processing of massive data volumes (Pandas) and manipulation of Oracle and PostgreSQL databases via SQLAlchemy.

• ● L3 Support: Proactive analysis of complex incidents (Root Cause Analysis).
