Eugene Shishkin
Profile
My name is Eugene. I am a software developer with 10+ years of experience. Though I have been working in the same company for several years, I have a lot of different projects done. Mostly I use Java language, but tried JS/Python in my side projects.
Apart from programming I am interested in DevOps and IT management. As for hobbies - I like astronomy (I have 10 inch dobsonian), photography and hiking. I always try to learn something new everyday.

The project was related to one of the banks in Russia. The main goal of the project was performance optimization
of central banking system. The banking system itself was very old, business logic was written using IBM RPG programming language.
It was decided to implement a global cache on top of the system and split read/write operation flows (CQRS).
All write and non-critical read were operations routed to the old system, critical read operations were routed
to a new system. The system we implemented has the same business logic but written purely in Java.
