I'm a Java Champion & Sr. Principal Developer Advocate at Red Hat, focusing on Application Development technologies such as Quarkus, Spring Boot, as well as the rest of Red Hat's Runtimes portfolio. I help create technical content within https://github.com/RedHat-Middleware-Workshops.

I'm also a public speaker, having spoken at many industry events in the United States and worldwide.

Prior to joining Red Hat, I spent many years in the financial services & insurance industries. I also enjoy contributing to various open source projects.

Outside of work, I enjoy ice hockey and martial arts. I hold a black belt in Kempo Karate.

I've recently published a book - Quarkus for Spring Developers (https://red.ht/quarkus-spring-devs). This book is a Spring Developer's ultimate resource to learn about Quarkus and Kubernetes-native Java. It showcases and explains how Quarkus enables modern Java development and the Kubernetes-native experience. Get introductions to familiar Spring concepts, constructs, and conventions through equivalent code examples, then learn how they map to Quarkus. It additionally places emphasis on testing patterns and practices.
