Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about my work, background and approach.
My core stack is TypeScript/JavaScript and Java, backed by frameworks like VueJS, React, Quarkus and Spring. On the infrastructure side I work with Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka and AWS. I also have extensive experience with Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence) and CI/CD pipelines.
I have led the full lifecycle of web application projects — from requirements and architecture through development, DevOps integration and go-live. This includes event-driven microservice systems, internal tooling, Atlassian plug-in development and cloud migrations.
Yes. I am a certified Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) and have acted as both Scrum Master and Product Owner in client projects. I use Scrum and Kanban regularly and focus heavily on backlog quality, milestone planning and team flow.
I regularly apply Domain Driven Design, Microservices, Event Sourcing and CQRS. I believe in clear boundaries between services and favour event-driven architectures for scalable, decoupled systems. I also promote Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development within teams.
DevOps is an integral part of how I work. I plan and implement CI/CD pipelines, containerise applications with Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes. I have hands-on experience with AWS and have worked with Terraform for infrastructure as code.
