Apron is an accounts payable solution and invoice capture for businesses and accounting practices.

I built a variety of features in the company, many of those from scratch. The technologies include Kotlin, PostgreSQL, Kafka, GCP, React + Typescript.

• Built the first version of onboarding flow and KYB/KYC checks for the new customers.
• Built the back office from scratch. It's a separate app for the internal team to easily search and manage customers, payments, and more.
• Designed and implemented the subscription management and monthly billing system.
• Integrated an open banking provider (Plaid) as part of the payments flow.
• Implemented beneficiary management, including external integrations and confirmation of payee check (CoP), also as the part of the payments flow.
• Built a scheduled jobs service on top of Quartz.
• Lead the development of planned cycles feature. It allows users to set up their preferred payment schedule and groups invoices together according to it, making it very easy to pay those invoice together on time.

Participated in several projects as a backend developer (Java, Kotlin, PostgreSQL, GCP).

Wealth & Trading platform

• Worked on maintaining and improving of the order management system and the broker integration.
• Designed and implemented corporate events service that parsed corporate events data from a vendor, and provided APIs to display corporate events calendar in the app.
• Built a solution to scale trading services up and down according to the stock market schedule.

European bank license operationalization

Set up reporting system that was required for operationalizing European bank license with a hard deadline. Came up with idea of two-step data processing to work around technical difficulty of processing large number of events in a limited amount of time.

Built a risk scoring and investment recommendation system for the new customers using Spring and MongoDB.

Participated in various projects for the Italian public sector and banks. Used both old-school technologies like Struts 2 and Tiles, and more modern Spring Framework and Angular.

Unfinished Master degree in Computer Science. Finished all the courses but haven't done the thesis.
