Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Grant is a seasoned software engineer based in Berlin with over two decades of professional experience and a dozen years focused in modern backend and test automation roles. He has a strong track record delivering resilient e-commerce microservices and integration pipelines (Spring Boot, Akka, Kafka) and has led QA/build migrations and tooling that improved team reliability. His background spans broadcast and interactive TV systems at the BBC and Strategy & Technology, where he designed large-scale client-side platforms and authoring tools, bringing a rare blend of low-level systems thinking and practical product delivery. At commercetools and REWE digital he combined hands-on coding in Java/Groovy/Scala with mentoring, hiring and operational oversight; he now applies that experience to payments engineering at paymenttools. Academically grounded with a PhD in Computer Science and an M.Sc. in IT (Distinction), he routinely turns complex domain requirements into maintainable, automated systems. An under-the-radar strength is his habit of building internal tooling and CI infrastructure that scales teams as well as systems.
