• Architected and developed multi-platform desktop visualization tool using Vue.js/Electron.js for the visual aspect with embedded Spring Boot/Kotlin webserver synced using Sockets.
• Worked on implementing dynamic schema inference from unstructured data in Apache Kafka topics, self-service filtering, and aggregation for queries.

• Played a crucial role in developing and maintaining the mainstreaming events pipeline, from the client and server-side event collection until the warehouse, which involves schema validation, deduplication, enrichment, shredding, and sessionization.
• Led the migration from Apache Spark, Hadoop, and Scala to a containerized solution based on Apache Kafka, Kotlin, and Springboot, which significantly reduced the time to implement and roll out new features.
• Organized and led level-ups and workshops for the data team to facilitate adopting the newly introduced paradigms and technologies.

This paper proposes MPADE algorithm, a Differential Evolution algorithm variant which extends JADE by using a multi-populated approach to solve high dimensional real-parameter constrained optimization problems. This mechanism helps to prevent the two well-known issues affecting the differential evolution algorithm, which are premature convergence and stagnation. MPADE implements ”DE/current-to-pbest” as its mutation strategy, adapts its mutation rate and the crossover rate, and uses an optional external archive to keep track of potential removed individuals in previous generations.

European Space Agency selected 20 developers from all over the world to its ESRIN location in Frascati, Italy (including travel expenses and accommodation). The goal was to create during a week a mobile application using Copernicus satellites data that solved a problem in Smart Cities.
