👩‍💻 About Me

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with a strong foundation in Java, Spring Boot, and Angular, currently building core banking integrations from the ground up at Banca de Investitii si Dezvoltare.

At Banca de Investitii si Dezvoltare (BID), I built a full-stack financial reporting platform from the ground up using Java 21, Spring Boot 4, and Angular 17. To process high-volume data from partner banks, I implemented a multithreaded backend with a complex validation engine that cross-references historical reports. I also developed the entire user interface, from dynamic dashboards to automated exports, and secured the system with LDAP, role-based access control, and a four-eyes approval workflow. Concurrently, I am building a second application to validate and inject accounting entries directly into the FLEX core banking system, bridging MS SQL Server and Oracle databases.

At Ford, I independently migrated the frontend codebase to Angular 17, reducing technical debt and improving performance across internal platforms. I contributed to major platform upgrades including Azure Entra ID, Apigee, and cluster migrations, helping standardize and secure API infrastructure. I also implemented automated vulnerability scanning and compliance checks using tools like 42Crunch, Checkmarx, FOSSA, JFrog, and Cycode, improving security coverage across multiple teams, and built internal tools using Jira and Microsoft Teams APIs to reduce manual effort.

At BNP Paribas, I developed an instant payment application using Java EE and JBoss EAP, handled production incidents with Splunk and SQL*Plus, and helped increase test coverage by up to 80% using Mockito, PowerMock, and SonarQube. As an intern, I built a full stack web application using Spring Boot, AngularJS, and Hibernate, gaining hands-on experience with enterprise development and deployment using Liberty.

My background includes:
🔹 Backend development with Java (EE to 21), Spring Boot, JBoss EAP, Multithreading and REST/SOAP APIs
🔹 Frontend development with Angular (JS-17), TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
🔹 Cloud & CI/CD using GCP, Azure DevOps, Terraform, Tekton, Jenkins, and Maven
🔹 Databases & Systems including MS SQL Server (SSMS), Oracle Database / SQL Developer, PostgreSQL, and FLEX
🔹 API Security, vulnerability scanning, LDAP, Azure Entra ID, and RBAC
🔹 Comfortable with tools like Hibernate, ElasticSearch, Git, Splunk, Nexus, and ServiceNow
