Summary
Ioana Lazar is a Senior Java developer and independent contractor based in Bucharest with 9 years of professional experience and 5+ years focused on designing, testing and maintaining enterprise back-end systems. She specializes in Java 11+, Spring Boot ecosystem, microservices and event-driven architectures using Cassandra, Kafka and Redis, with a strong emphasis on TDD, DDD and clean code. At ING Tech Romania she helped migrate monoliths to scalable microservices, built high-availability APIs for PSD2 and mentored new colleagues while participating in on-call and CI/CD practices. Comfortable across the observability and DevOps toolchain (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenShift, Azure DevOps), she pairs production-first thinking with thorough automated testing (JUnit, Mockito, Cucumber). As a freelancer she now brings that bank-grade reliability and system design experience to remote contract roles, and also explores Flutter/Dart for cross-platform front-end work.
