As an Engineering Manager I provide vision and expertise to develop leading-edge technologies from start to finish. I promote a culture of learning, collaboration, collective ownership and technical excellence. I encourage developers to know about the business and participate on product definition and prioritization, as well as to adopt best coding an deployment practices, review code frequently and put long-term quality at the front.

I ensure our products are build with the right methodology, technology and architecture choices. I mentor several cross-functional teams, guiding them with their Agile and Lean adoption, inspiring them to put customer needs at the front, getting user feedback frequently and taking decisions based on objective facts.

Together with the Team and the Product Manager we develop the product roadmap and the Hoshin plan and I assist the team to get our goals and take the best decisions.

Show me the code!

A typical simplified command handler:

using (var unitOfwork = unitOfWorkFactory.CreateFor<Job>())
{
    var repository = unitOfwork.GetRepository<Job>();

    var job = await repository.FindAsync(jobId);

    if (job?.Id == default)
        throw new JobNotFoundException();

    job.UpdateFrom(command.Job);

    await unitOfwork.SaveChangesAsync();
    
    await bus.RaiseEvents(job);
}

An integration test

[Test]
public async Task CreateJobController_should_create_a_new_job()
{
    using (var scope = ServiceProvider.CreateScope())
    {
        // Arrange
        var bus = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IBus>();
        var logger = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ILogger<JobController>>();
        var correlationId = Guid.NewGuid();
        var controller = new JobController(bus, logger);

        var job = new JobDTO()
        {
            Title = "My job offer",
            ...
        };

        var request = new PostJobRequest(
            job,
            companyId,
            userId
            );

        // Act
        ActionResult response = await controller.CreateAsync(request, correlationId);

        // Assert
        Assert.That(response, Is.InstanceOf(typeof(OkObjectResult)));
        Assert.That...
        Assert.That...
    }
}

A unit test

[Test]
public async Task SaveJobCommandHandler_should_get_a_job_entity_from_repository_given_a_valid_job_id()
{
    // Arrange
    var correlationId = Guid.NewGuid();
    var jobRepository = new Mock<IJobRepository>();
    var logger = new Mock<ILogger>();
    var job = new Mock<Job>();

    job.SetupProperty(m => m.Id, JOB_ID);
            
    var command = new SaveJobCommand(correlationId, job.Object);
    var handler = new SaveJobCommandHandler(jobRepository.Object, logger.Object);

    // Act
    await handler.Handle(command);

    // Assert
    jobRepository.Verify(r => r.FindAsync(JOB_ID), Times.Once);
