Principal Software Engineer, employed at Red Hat for eight and a half years.
I am one of the lead engineers on Debezium, an open-source change data capture (CDC) platform. Debezium transforms your database's transaction logs into events that can be sent to Kafka, EventHubs, Google PubSub, and several other broker systems. Change data capture is one of the best ways to react to changes in one microservice and reflect that change in other services. If you are interested in details about change data capture (CDC) and how Debezium is leading the industry in this space, you can find me on Zulip or the Google mailing list.
Besides Debezium, I am also an active maintainer of several projects in the Quarkus platform, a collection of community-led tools for Quarkus, a Kubernetes-native Java framework tailored for GraalVM and HotSpot. Quarkus is based on the best-of-breed libraries and tools within the Java ecosystem. In addition, I am also an active contributor to Hibernate, an Object/Relational Model system for Java Persistence.
I have over 25 years of IT experience working across proprietary and open-source projects, extensively working with a variety of database platforms, including Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL, during that time while working on designing and developing complex, distributed database-driven applications and infrastructure.
And because coding is fun, you'll often find me in several open-source projects when I'm not working 😁.
