I have been actively engaged in the design and development of vendor-specific datacenter management solutions. Over the course of my five-year tenure, I transitioned into a Team Leader position, specifically overseeing a project focused on the integration of VMWare products within datacenters.

Projects

Connected Brewery IoT Platform

Golang | AWS | Terraform | Docker | Grafana | InfluxDB | MySQL | Datadog | Github
The Connected Brewery IoT is a platform that provides intelligent support to shop floor workers by collecting sensor data from various sources within the brewery and storing it in a data lake. The collected data is subsequently utilized to generate real-time insights and facilitate the development of specific use cases in dedicated environments.
Contribution: Platform support, Observability improvements, CI/CD, API development

Data Enrichment Platform

Java 11 | Kubernetes | Kafka | Spring [Cloud Dataflow | Cloud Stream | Cloud Function | Batch | Boot] | MongoDB
The Data Enrichment Platform is a flexible software platform for performing data enrichment by executing various algorithms on a collection of documents, retrieved from a certain data source system. The enrichment result are often annotated texts and images, but can also be new documents/images/etc., e.g. in case of machine translation.
Contribution: Platform Setup & Deployment, Stream components implementation, CI/CD, Monitoring & Alerting Setup, Performance Tests

Ansera

Java 8 | Kubernetes | ElasticSearch | Lucene | ANTLR | Spring | Hibernate | JUnit | Maven
Ansera is a search engine for patent information. The goal is to deliver highly relevant documents before the examiner starts working on a patent application. It provides search with plain text (find similar), custom domain-specific query language, and search for similar figures.
Contribution: DSL grammar implementation, AST to Lucene translation, Custom search queries

Event Service

Java | Spring | Hibernate | Flex | H2database | SBLIM CIM Client | SNMP4j | SOAP | JUnit | Maven
Event Service is an extension to VMWare vCenter which uses polling-based approach to handle servers monitoring events through CIM and SNMP indications. Through Event Service extension VMWare Infrastructure (e.g. vSphere Web Client plugins) can operate vendor-specific information.
