Summary
Bogdan Stirbat is a seasoned Java backend engineer with 11 years of experience building and modernizing scalable systems, currently working as a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon. He specializes in Spring Boot, microservices, Kafka, and cloud-native deployments (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), and prioritizes maintainability as the key feature of successful software. Bogdan has a proven track record of performance and security improvements—e.g., 40x page load speedups and full remediation of Spring Boot vulnerabilities during recent roles. He brings strong architectural judgment, having driven migrations, reduced coupling, and rewritten services to simplify and harden platforms across fintech, energy, and SaaS domains. Based in Bucharest, he pairs pragmatic problem analysis with a preference for solutions that are “as simple as possible, but not too simple.” A Master’s graduate in Advanced Software Services, he quietly excels at cross-language modernization efforts (Scala→Java migrations) that unlock long-term maintainability.
