In my last contract I achieved 3 big objectives: 1) Proposed and implemented important improvements for a major version of Baker, an open source microservice orchestration library. 2) Proposed and implemented the architecture of Bakery, an open source serverless infrastructure technology. 3) Rewrote the whole Baker runtime to make an in-memory performant implementation, and made the runtime easily maintainable. Baker and Bakery are open source technologies that are helping ING bring their business process ideas and requirements 5 times faster into the market, they automate infrastructure requirements for their engineers, save costs and are becoming a backbone technology for the organization. Part of the challenges in the development included the improvement of their required libraries to meet quality standards, to choose key technologies for the infrastructure, and to propose and implement architecture designs that would meet their scale, security and reliability requirements. I was the only coding expert developer (as reflected on the contributors page https://github.com/ing-bank/baker/graphs/contributors). In the last years I have invested a lot of my free and paid time on sharing my knowledge and teaching topics related to functional programming, I used almost 2 years of my life on creating an Amsterdam meetup with around 300 members where I would give free workshops between 1 to 4 times a week. Most of my skills revolve around understanding complex business requirements and technical challenges, and proposing and implementing technical solutions which are modular, scalable and easier to understand for other engineers.
