Work Experience
Software Developer
Developing internal services in kotlin.
Software Developer
Developing the Parsly backend microservices mainly in SpringBoot with Kotlin but also in Quarkus with Java. All services used Postgres databases and were hosted in AWS on ElasticBeanstalk. Also helped out with both serverless backend development in Golang and frontend bugfixing in NextJS.
Software Developer
Developing the mobile G-Loot platform in Java 8 on Google App Engine. Also focused on building and maintaining the infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform with Terraform and FluxCD. Lastly worked on developing microservices in Java with Spring Boot.
Software Developer/Team Leader
Developed Orchesto, an easy to use object storage gateway written in Go. The gateway unified multi-cloud and on-prem storage solutions allowing users to access all of their data through a single S3 compatible endpoint. Configuration of the gateway was performed via the self hosted web frontend app written in React using Ant Design which was embedded in the single application binary or a custom RESTful API.
Software Development Consultant at The Dutch Postcode Lottery
Developed two microservices in Java 8 using the Dropwizard framework. The first service provided an REST API for administration of lottery VIP cards which give discounts at various events. It used EnterpiseDB for storage and communicated with a third party using SOAP. The second service acted as a API layer between multiple corporate and third party sites and two backends. Idea was that the API layer would work both with the legacy monolithic backend and the new one being built which has a microservice architecture while providing the same API towards the mentioned sites.
Software Developer/Team Leader
Migrated a telematics platform from PHP to Python mainly using Django and Django REST Framework. Developed two iOS applications for tracking different activities on a construction site, one being only a concept app. The apps we're collecting sensor data and user input on the iOS device while transferring it with JSON/XML over HTTP or protobuf over MQTT. Was part of the introduction of Scrum in team, coaching team members.
Software Developer
Rewrote the Viewserve Fleet management system by separating front and backend using ExtJS as the main frontend framework and .NET for the backend. Heavily refactored a telematics platform with a PHP code base in order to get the code to a more maintainable state. Focused on adding stability and scalability in the platform while also adding new features. Developed a J2ME application for an embedded device used to track construction vehicle location on a site.

'Swiss army knife' is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Andrej. For the five years I've managed Andrej he has been exceptionally versatile, always eager to jump into a task even when the language, platform, tools are unknown for him before hand. Doing so wIth great success! Andrej is a great addition to any team looking for something else than a 'hammer'.
I experienced Andrej as a pleasant person to work with and I regret to see him leave. The work Andrej and the team delivered is of exceptional quality and the enthousiasm and involvement of Andrej is of the next level. Andrej had a big influence in this. I advice to everybody who works with him to get him involved, take his advice into account and listen to what is has to say. For me and my company it helped a lot to make the right choices. Andrej thanks for the good time and it was an honor to work with you.
