• 🔶 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗔𝗽𝗽
• I worked on optimising and enhancing the bottom-funnel workflows—including Cart, Checkout, and Payment—using TypeScript to improve transaction reliability and user experience. I led the migration from a monolithic architecture to event-driven microservices following DDD/CQRS principles and Service/Controller patterns, significantly improving scalability and maintainability. To ensure performance under load, I developed and executed JMeter-based test scripts that identified bottlenecks and drove measurable speed improvements. Additionally, I implemented dynamic frontend content blocks using StoryBlok and Vue.js, enabling rapid updates and creating a more engaging, interactive platform for customers.
