About Shahzad

Lead Java / Full-stack / Platform Engineer – Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitOps, I assist teams in the design, development, and industrialization of applications and technical platforms.

My core business is Java development (Spring Boot, microservices, DDD, clean architecture), complemented by expertise in Kubernetes and CI/CD platforms to secure and streamline deliveries.

I intervene in particular on:

- Java backend development (Java 8 → 21)
- Application architecture and good coding practices
- Deployment on Kubernetes of Back & Front projects (Helm, ArgoCD, GitOps, Kustomize)
- Deployment on Kube of RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Metabase infra bricks
- Management of dumps and backups on Kube
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- Exceptionally today on the integration of Data platforms (Airflow, Spark on Kubernetes)

Support and mentoring of technical teams

I position myself as a technical and platform facilitator, with a clear scope, focused on construction and continuous improvement.
