In my first paid position I started as an AEM developer in the Acolad team at KBC. We were responsible for the devlopment of all components needed for the different KBC websites. Next to ‘regular’ AEM development I also started working with Kubernetes and microservices as well as some DevOps work.

Projects:

• NGINX Caching layer: Goal of the project was implementing a caching layer for the KBC mobile app. The setup was done using NGINX which was deployed within an Openshift kubernetes cluster.
• Intel to M1 migration: Goal of the project was to update the local development environment to be compatible with the new M1 Macbooks I was responsible for the implementation.
• CachPoint branch locator: Goal of the project was to include the new CashPoint locations in the branch locator on the KBC websites. I was responsible for the architecture and implementation, the data was received through an S3 bucket, which was then polled by a Spring Boot microservice.
• Form Submit: Goal of the project was reworking the form submissions on the KBC site to be gdpr compliant. A PostgreSQL database was used to store userdata temporarily, a Spring Boot application was used to process form submits. I was responsible for development of front- and backend of the main navigation.
• Rework main menu kbc.be: Goal of the project was to create a responsive dropdown menu for the website of KBC. I was responsible for development of front- and backend of the main navigation.
• Release automation: Goal of the project was implementing a CI/CD pipeline for deployments of AEM code at KBC. The pipelines were setup in Jenkins and deploys were orchestrated using Ansible.
