Projects using Java in RomeProjects using Java in RomeI contributed to the development of a distributed enterprise platform built around microservices, APIs, authentication, and data-intensive backend services.
My role involved implementing and maintaining backend functionality, integrating services, designing API contracts, handling persistence, and supporting frontend applications consuming the platform.
A significant part of the work involved translating complex business requirements into maintainable software while ensuring that different components of the system could communicate reliably and securely.
Key areas of work included:
Spring Boot microservices
REST API design and implementation
Service-to-service integrations
Authentication and role-based authorization
Relational and NoSQL data persistence
Data mapping and transformation
Error handling and validation
Backend integration with Angular applications
Maintenance and evolution of existing services
Troubleshooting complex production issues
The project strengthened my experience in building maintainable backend systems, integrating distributed components, and working with large production applications where reliability, security, and data consistency are critical. I worked on the development and evolution of a large enterprise web platform designed to manage complex business processes, user workflows, and data across multiple internal services.
My work covered both frontend and backend development, including the implementation of new features, business rules, REST APIs, database integrations, and workflow automation.
The platform was built around a modular architecture where different services collaborated to manage long-running processes, user tasks, validations, and state transitions.
Key contributions included:
Development of frontend features with Angular
Backend services and REST APIs with Spring Boot
Business process and workflow automation
Integration between multiple internal services
Database modeling and persistence
Authentication and authorization integration
Complex validation and business rules
Bug fixing and production maintenance
Refactoring and performance improvements
Analysis and implementation of new functional requirements
The project required working on an established production codebase with complex domain logic, multiple integrations, and strict reliability requirements. Ocelot is an open-source code intelligence platform I designed to help developers and teams understand complex codebases through AI-powered search and natural language queries.
The system combines semantic retrieval, syntax-aware analysis, and dependency graphs to build a structured representation of a software project rather than treating source code as plain text.
Ocelot analyzes classes, methods, dependencies, and relationships across the codebase, allowing users to ask questions about architecture, business logic, implementation details, and dependencies in natural language.
Key capabilities include:
Hybrid semantic and syntax-aware code search
RAG-based question answering over source code
Dependency graph generation
Method and class-level indexing
Incremental indexing for changed files
Structured metadata extraction
Support for backend and frontend codebases
Java, Angular and TypeScript analysis
Architecture and business-logic exploration through natural language
I designed the architecture, indexing pipeline, retrieval strategy, dependency analysis, and AI interaction layer with a focus on making large codebases easier to navigate and understand.
