Developed a high-performance, low-latency solution using TypeScript-based AWS Lambda functions to integrate seamlessly with physical machines via AWS IoT Core and MQTT.

IoT, AWS, TypeScript, Serverless Computing

Designed high-level solution architectures for multiple development teams, guiding technology selection, and establishing technical standards. Conducted implementation reviews to ensure quality across teams and collaborated with fellow architects to align technology choices with business goals, balancing product requirements and roadmap priorities for strategic impact.

Enterprise software architecture, Distributed systems

Ideated and implemented a greenfield event-driven gaming platform. This microservices platform contained various technologies. Symfony was chosen together with Node. RabbitMQ is used as central communication technology between the services where MongoDB and Redis were the chosen databases. As an advocate for domain-driven design, the complexity was tackled strictly following this approach.

PHP, Node, CQRS, MongoDB, Redis, Microservices, Kubernetes

Integrated various gaming providers into a monolith system. Applied several code quality optimisations by introducing design patterns and application modernisation.

Writing tests is nice, but how are you sure that your tests cover all use cases? Code coverage can give false positive metrics. A new way of working that goes by the name of mutation testing has gained a lot of popularity lately. This talk will explain you what it is, how you can integrate it and contains a demo over the basics of mutation testing with infection and phpspec.
