Profile: https://flows.cv/jeffa

I enjoy the challenge of working on complex systems, regardless of whether they are on-prem or cloud hosted, and solving real-world technical problems. I embrace the fact that excellent software development involves communication between team members in addition to strong technical skills and knowledge.

I have experience with both Spring-based containerized microservices deployed to Kubernetes through an automated CI/CD pipeline as well as a monolithic vanilla-Java distributed application deployed on bare metal servers. Adaptable and curious, I'm always looking to learn and grow while continuing to deliver on business needs.
