Mock Interview

i am rafael. i have been a software engineer for the past 10 years. i specialized in java, spring boot and java related technologies. i have been closely following the latest trends in software development. i have experience building software with microservices, containers and kubernetes. i have experience doing integration with services such as kafka, redis, and cassandra. i am also interested in the best practices of building APIs particularly customer facing APIs.

i am a hands-on guy. i like doing architecture and design but as always the devil is in the details so a great deal of time i believe should be spent studying the implementation itself.

when i was im the product engineering team i lead the architecture and implementation of a gruelling 8 month long product development. i was in charge on what libraries to use and whatnot, which functionality goes into which microservice, api design and coding standards. since that time i know a lot more than my teammates, i also became the go to guy when dealing with business logic. we also did code reviews and the typical scrum meetings.

this past year i was assigned into the product research and incubation team to do RnD. The goal is to do research and development of potential products that would exploit or take advantage of our interconnection platform. We did PoCs, papers and patents. we also work with interns from NTU that are interested with the topics to help us achieve our goals.
