I help senior developers, staff engineers, tech leads, and CTOs make faster, safer decisions in Java, AI, cloud, and architecture to advance their careers and products.

Since 1999, I have built and shipped solutions in legal, logistics, and finance. As a Java Champion (a recognition granted to ~400 professionals worldwide), I’ve been on the front lines of Java and cloud-native evolution.

I led and executed developer advocacy strategies at Oracle, Red Hat, and IBM, connecting global engineering teams with real-world developer needs. On stage, I’ve shared insights at JavaOne, Devnexus, The Developer’s Conference, JCON, and other events.

Today, my focus is:

- Turning complex backend and architecture topics into practical guidance
- Teaching how to leverage AI with Java to build scalable and highly available systems
- Mentoring senior professionals who want to reach staff, principal, or CTO levels

I also serve on the board of SouJava, one of the largest Java user groups worldwide, strengthening the community that shaped my own career.

If you need clarity on architecture trade-offs, Enterprise Java, or how to integrate AI above the hype, let’s connect.
