The Team
An 11-person cross-border squad split across two hubs: 6 developers between Porto and France, working alongside a Business Analyst, a Product Owner, a Project Manager, and two leads out of France.

The Deep Dive
The challenge, the approach, and the impact — the same shape as the project case studies.
The Challenge
Modernize cross-border payment and cash management flows running on a monolithic JEE stack, without disrupting live SWIFT operations.
- Legacy monolithic JEE systems tightly coupled to SWIFT messaging
- Settlement latency under pressure from real-time cash management needs
- Migrating live financial infrastructure under zero-downtime constraints
The Approach
Led the migration to event-driven, Spring-based microservices with targeted caching to bring settlement latency down.
- Event-driven architecture replacing point-to-point JEE calls
- Spring Boot microservices incrementally replacing the monolith
- Custom caching strategy to reduce settlement latency
