With over 30 years of experience in the technology sector, I specialize in helping organizations modernize legacy infrastructure without compromising on security or performance. Currently, I serve as a Full Stack VueJS Developer at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCL), where I architect scalable microservices and ensure robust security protocols for their e-commerce ecosystem. My career has been defined by adaptability. I have successfully transitioned from foundational roles managing Oracle databases and PL/SQL procedures in the late 90s to leading modern web development with VueJS, Laravel, and Scala. Whether I am converting old-fashioned PHP monoliths to modern Laravel, implementing microservices in Scala, or securing API endpoints, my goal is to build software solutions that are resilient, testable, and easy to maintain. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: • 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁: Specialized in migrating legacy codebases (PHP/JS) to scalable, typed backend solutions (Scala) and component-driven frontends (Vue/Angular). • 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: I actively implement security recommendations into micro-services to protect sensitive data and user privacy. • 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Comfortable moving between Frontend (Vue, Angular, Quasar) and Backend (Laravel, Play Framework, Scala) to ensure the product works seamlessly. • 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Proven track record of working in remote, Scrum-based teams with global companies and agencies in the US, Europe, and Latin America. My background in Data Warehousing and Unix Scripting ensures that I understand data flow and infrastructure as well as code. I believe that writing clean, automated tests and documentation is just as important as the feature itself. 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀.
