Hi there! I'm Paolo Combi ๐
Senior Backend Engineer @ Vinted | Distributed Systems & Software Architecture
I specialize in monolith decomposition, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and strategic architecture.
Currently, I'm driving the evolution of the Ontologies domain at Vinted, transitioning legacy systems into flexible distributed architectures using Knowledge Graphs and Semantic Web technologies.
I believe that code should be clean, efficient, and scalableโjust like a good joke. (And unlike my jokes, my systems actually scale).
- ๐ Architecting: Decoupling complex business logic from legacy monoliths using Branch by Abstraction.
- ๐ธ Exploring: Implementing RDF/SPARQL and Knowledge Graphs to revolutionize item discovery.
- ๐ฃ Sharing: Advocating for EventStorming and quality engineering cultures.
- ๐ Training: Recently certified in Strategic Design with Eric Evans and Microservices with Chris Richardson.
When I'm not staring at architectural diagrams or fixing circular dependencies, you can find me:
- ๐ญ Doing Theater Improvisation (helps with public speaking... and debugging meetings).
- ๐น Playing Piano.
- ๐โโ๏ธ Training for my next (half)marathon.
- โ Defragging my life over a good coffee in Berlin.
