I’m a full-spectrum software engineer from Switzerland specializing in modernization and cloud migration, delivering 10x productivity through pattern recognition and systematic execution. I architect complete technical solutions across the entire stack. Recent Swiss Post engagement: migrated their online waybill application from Spring Boot 2.4/Angular 8/Oracle on-premises to Spring Boot 2.7/Angular 18/PostgreSQL on AWS/Kubernetes, implemented FedEx APIs, added 5,000+ tests, and established CI/CD with ArgoCD.

    paper Frachtbrief Online

    Frachtbrief Online is the Swiss Post application used to create waybills for international parcels, both using the international postal network or the FedEx urgent delivery.
    I migrated the TNT FTP interface to the new FedEx REST API after FedEx has acquired TNT.
    I also modernized a legacy app running on Spring Boot 2.4.3 / Oracle 19g / Angular 2 to a dockerized Spring Boot 2.7.18 / PostgreSQL / Angular 16, managing the migration from RedHat Entreprise Linux 8 VMs that I managed to the AWS Kubernetes Cloud.
    I’ve increased coverage with ca 5’000 more tests, as well as covered QA needs with end to end API and UI tests with Robot Framework. My ISTQB certification helped me frame the Cloud migration with a robust QA harness to make this transition a success that is now used as a model for cloud migration at the Swiss Post.
    I’ve also added two new B2B and B2E application and a few Python helper applications to interface with Frachtbrief Online. I’ve fixed the Spring Security issues and implemented a robust authorizations model.
