Summary
José Sande is a Senior Software Engineer based in Barcelona with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering Java/J2EE backend systems and microservice architectures. He has led teams and driven technical direction across high-throughput platforms in insurance, ticketing, and observability (now at New Relic), combining API-first REST design with event-driven patterns and pragmatic security (OpenID Connect/OAuth2).

Known for meticulous, domain-driven design and practical POCs, he has repeatedly brought complex payment, authentication and integration projects from concept to production. Though classically Java-focused, he is actively exploring cloud-native, Big Data and AI-related technologies, reflecting a continuous appetite for new trends and tooling.
