Professional Presentation
Profile
I’ve worked passionately on Java projects for more than 20 years dealing with software development, architecture and team leadership. The growing experience has led me to move towards a more business oriented approach considering technology as a mean to achieve business goals. I believe that technological choices should be seen as an investment decision, carefully made after a correct evaluation of the risk/value ratio and the product lifecycle. The use of such pragmatic approach allows me to avoid 'hyped' technological trends, and to offer solutions based on the following main factors:
-
Keeping things simple delivering business value quickly through a countinuous delivery approach
-
Minimizing dependency from external frameworks and libraries while leveraging the APIs provided by the platforms
-
Avoiding the waste of development resources not connected to business requirements
Technology
With productivity and business value as targets, I’m actually focusing on JavaEE/JakartaEE and Eclipse Microprofile platforms. These are actually opensource projects backed by the biggest IT vendors (IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, etc.) that are driving the future of modern enterprise software development. They provide all the APIs needed to build cloud-native applications freeing from the need of external frameworks and dependencies. There already exists a set of application servers JakartaEE+Microprofile compatible that offer production grade reliability.
Following the same approach considering the client side technologies means leveraging webstandards and webcomponents to achieve a faster and more productive development process compared to what we get using the most common js frameworks.
The thin war deployment model fits perfectly with the layered docker filesystem realizing a faster and effective CI/CD pipeline when applying test automation.
