Frederik Aarup Lauritsen Senior architect

I was promoted to Senior Architect from 1. january 2022. During my time as a Senior Architect, I expanded my area of technical expertise to include a larger part of the Copenhagen Airport product. The main new area was our business rule engine where I got more involved in clarifications and design of the advanced business rules, along with updates to the core of the business rule engine.

As Airhart went into production, I got involved in debugging and solving production incidents. During this process, I became more aware of monitoring through metrics and the quality of logs. We use prometheus metrics in our applications, which are scraped and are used to trigger alarms. I have been the primary stakeholder of alarms and metrics on the functional team, coordinating with the operations team about improvements to the alarms, helping them determine which alarms can be adjusted to avoid false positives for the entire product.

Recently, I have been involved in analysing and estimating larger future updates of the technical landscape around Copenhagen Airport. Technically, I have also expanded into most of the remaining product, including SCIM synchronization of users and web workers for multithreading in the browser front-end.

During my time at the Airhart project, it has grown to over 100 people and shrinked back down to 6 developers. During our cut over, I was one of the 4 people whom had the responsibility to handle all the incidents, while the 1500 employees in the Airport got used to the new product running without any support from the legacy system.

I started at Netcompany on 1. August 2020, after I had completed my thesis in June. I was immediately put on the Airhart project, which is a project Netcompany has delivered for Copenhagen Airports. The project replaced a big part of the airports existing IT infrastructe, meaning a big part of the work involved talking to the IT experts at the Airport to get domain knowledge, and getting information about the specific components which we were replacing.

I was a Team Lead for a few months in the spring of 2021, for a team of 8 developers. I stopped as a Team Lead because I prefer a more technical role. I got a lot of praise from my immediate manager for my performance as a Team Lead. Next, I became a "Technical Quality Pilot" for the inbound integrations. At the time, 6 people were developing integrations, meaning that I had the responsibility for PR reviews and to keep a general overview of the state of development in the area. Being a "Technical Quality Pilot" additionally included improving the design and writing general patterns for the common parts of the integrations. At this point, I started being more involved in the outbound integrations, and I was a "Technical Quality Pilot" for those for some time as well.

In between highschool and University, I worked as a customer service employee at Skolemælk. The work involved answering emails, helping people place orders and correct existing orders. Due to a new software system, Skolemælk recieved several thousand emails from customers needing help with the new system. I worked full time for most of the time from summer 2014 to summer 2015, with the exception of 3 months in South East Asia with a friend.
