From monolith to microservices — energy industry software

Scope

• Directed technology and innovation for a leading all-in-one energy industry software house (~120 employees), preparing decision proposals and software architectures for CEO and CTO.
• Designed the transformation from a monolith to a containerized microservice architecture and drove the change to a React-based web architecture, including backend and test infrastructure.
• Introduced Git and GitLab, split up the legacy repositories, and implemented containerized CI/CD with containerized test databases.
• Led the DevOps and backend team, managed project teams of 4–5, and served as a member of portfolio management.
• Product owner of a custom multi-database framework: a fluent C# API for typesafe SQL queries with code generation, plus a unit-testing API for Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite.
• Planned and implemented a private cloud backend, a multi-language CI development platform and a web-based customer service center for B2B energy billing.

Technologies: C#, .NET, React, Docker, GitLab, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite
