About Me
I am an open-source software engineer in the Java and data streaming space. I currently work as a Technologist at Confluent. In my past role at Decodable I focused on developer outreach and helped them build their stream processing platform based on on Apache Flink. Prior to that, I spent ten years at Red Hat, where I led the Debezium project, a platform for change data capture.
I have been a long-time committer to multiple open-source projects, including Hibernate, kcctl, JfrUnit, MapStruct and Deptective; I also serve as the spec lead for Bean Validation 2.0 (first at the JCP, now under the Jakarta EE umbrella at the Eclipse Foundation).
Named a Java Champion, I enjoy speaking at conferences, for instance at QCon, JavaOne, Red Hat Summit, JavaZone, JavaLand and Kafka Summit.
Occasionally, I blog about topics related to software engineering.
