Top SchoolDaniel Jacob is a JVM-focused tech lead with 9 years’ experience designing and delivering cloud-native, event-driven backends for government and large private-sector organisations, with deep domain knowledge in fintech (bookkeeping, excise/customs) and retail payments. He specializes in Java and Kotlin, Spring-based microservices, Kafka/RabbitMQ architectures, and container platforms like Kubernetes and OpenShift, and holds certifications in Java, Scala, Spring, Kubernetes and AWS.
