Principal Software Engineer at Oracle NetSuite

Brno, Czechia

UI platform architect specializing in AI-assisted engineering enablement, telemetry and performance.

Selected Work

AI-first Design System Guidance Tooling

Researched and prototyped an AI-first UI Toolkit guidance system leveraging Model Context Protocol (MCP). The tool covered over 260 component guideline documents, code samples and development best practices. It was authored in collaboration with 3 frontrunner UX designers, scaling their expertise across multiple teams.

Created an automated code review bot leveraging this knowledge corpus, successfully trialed across 4 platform and app delivery teams to validate UI changes early in development.

Telemetry Stack Architecture

Shaped product telemetry architecture spanning frontend UI, backend integration, and AI interaction streams. Championed migration from legacy telemetry solutions to OpenTelemetry. Integrated Oracle APM for enterprise-grade performance monitoring.

Designed action-root hybrid sampling strategy to achieve a 92% telemetry volume reduction while preserving critical user-behavior signals.

Delivered in-app trace visualizer, driving up telemetry adoption among teams.

UI Performance & Bootstrap Optimization

Analyzed UI app bootstrap performance, driving improvements that gained 28% speed improvement.

Eliminated redundant network requests by introducing TanStack Query network caching. Defined tiered JavaScript dependency loading mechanism for on-demand toolkit loading.

Consumer-driven Contract Testing

Prototyped UI <=> backend API contract testing using Pact to prevent cross-system breaking changes early in the development lifecycle.

Defined consumer test suites, contract generation, and provider verification workflows between frontend UI applications and backend services.

UI Testing Strategy & Architecture

Led senior QA engineers in defining and executing the long-term UI testing architecture strategy across platform teams.

Established automated test suites and quality guardrails to elevate testing standards.

Pluggable Tax Calculation Engine

Architected and led the development of a pluggable tax calculation engine for NetSuite cloud ERP.

Coordinated technical strategy across 20+ software engineers in 4 squads, standardizing global tax calculation pipelines.

I design platform layers that stay out of the way while enabling everything else.
Quiet infrastructure. Measurable value.
