My name is Taffarel D. and I have over 2 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Kubernetes, Apache Flink, Google Cloud Platform, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor's degree. Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: How to build a Data Lakehouse using Kafka, Flink, Iceberg, and Nessie, Building Preview Environments with ArgoCD in Kubernetes Clusters, Deploying a Kubernetes Cluster in Oracle Cloud using Crossplane., Event-Driven Architecture Traces, OpenTelemetry Operator to gain deep insights into your application., etc.. I am based in San Pawl il-Bahar, Malta. I've successfully completed 6 projects while developing at Softaims.

My passion is building solutions that are not only technically sound but also deliver an exceptional user experience (UX). I constantly advocate for user-centered design principles, ensuring that the final product is intuitive, accessible, and solves real user problems effectively. I bridge the gap between technical possibilities and the overall product vision.

Working within the Softaims team, I contribute by bringing a perspective that integrates business goals with technical constraints, resulting in solutions that are both practical and innovative. I have a strong track record of rapidly prototyping and iterating based on feedback to drive optimal solution fit.

I’m committed to contributing to a positive and collaborative team environment, sharing knowledge, and helping colleagues grow their skills, all while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in solution development.
