With over 8 years of professional experience, I specialize in backend software development and DevOps. My career has taken me from hands-on coding and mentoring at ecx.io, to architectural leadership at Rinels and Digacon, impactful microservices work at Infobip, and independent consulting with Path Variable LLC. I’ve also contributed as a Full Stack Engineer at TripAdvisor, and currently drive backend innovation as a Senior Software Engineer at Revolut, focusing on expansion into new markets.
I am passionate about sharing knowledge and engaging with the tech community through public speaking. I have delivered talks at renowned industry events, including two sessions at JavaCro 2024 and a talk at the London Java Community Meetups in 2025. This June, I am excited to speak at Open South Code 2025. My talks focus on a range of software engineering topics, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning, community involvement, and advancing best practices.
This presentation outlines a smart garden system with a cloud component and a local SBC-powered system. The cloud component stores data, relays commands, and enables data export for third-party analysis, with the long-term goal of a machine learning pipeline for automatic insights. The local system, using Zigbee (with alternatives like Lora WAN, Wi-Fi, and Z-wave), orchestrates sensors and controllers.
The system uses Grafana for real-time site statistics (soil-moisture, pH, EC) and system monitoring, and InfluxDB as the time-series database. Java integrates with the Grafana/InfluxDB cloud component, using functional patterns for data streaming.
