Senior🎓
Top SchoolSalvatore Coppola is a Senior Java Software Engineer based in Trieste with over 15 years of hands-on experience and five years in senior roles focused on edge IoT and distributed systems. He currently develops and architects features for Eclipse Kura/Eurotech's ESF framework, blending deep OSGi knowledge with full-stack contributions—especially front-end UI improvements and backend REST API hardening on a well-known open-source IoT gateway project. His background spans port terminal microservices, industry 4.0 data platforms, and legacy-to-modern migrations (JBoss, Maven, Oracle), showing an ability to modernize critical enterprise systems. He pairs practical coding work with ops responsibilities—managing Nexus, GitLab and Keycloak—and has taught Java programming, reflecting both technical depth and mentorship. Notably, his open-source commits include UI clarity and stack-trace cleanup that improve production stability for edge deployments. Pragmatic and curious, he aims to transition from senior engineer toward architect roles while continuing to ship reliable, maintainable systems.
