Summary
Radu Balan is a Senior Java Software Engineer with nine years of experience designing and delivering production-grade microservices and RESTful systems, primarily on the Spring ecosystem. Based in Iași, Romania, he has led teams through full lifecycle delivery—from reverse-engineering legacy products to architecting new billing and back-office platforms and establishing CI/CD and deployment processes. His hands-on expertise spans backend systems, messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ, JMS), databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Oracle), and pragmatic front-end work with Angular/AngularJS when needed. As a former Scrum Master, he combines technical leadership with strong process discipline to drive measurable outcomes under load and at scale. Colleagues rely on him for clean architecture, pragmatic integration of third-party systems, and steady delivery in distributed environments. He often bridges gaps between legacy constraints and modern microservice patterns, making complex migrations feel routine.
