About
A bit more about me.
I'm an Enterprise Portal Solution Architect at Xtivia, where I've spent 14+ years designing and delivering Java, Spring Boot, and Liferay portal applications. My day job spans architecture, REST API design, Spring Batch frameworks, OAuth2/Spring Security, and shipping the kind of business-critical software that keeps insurers and enterprises running.
Before Xtivia I was an MTS at Oracle and Sun Microsystems, working on the platforms underneath portals — Glassfish WebSpace, Sun Portal Server, Oracle WebCenter, XMPP/BOSH chat — and contributing to open-source projects including Liferay Portal Server and the NetBeans Portal Pack.
Off the clock I build full-stack products with modern stacks — Next.js, React Native/Expo, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, and a healthy dose of AI tooling. I publish them on GitHub and deploy them on Vercel.
Skills
Tools of the trade.
Two stacks live in my head — the enterprise Java/Spring/Liferay world, and a modern TypeScript stack for everything new.
