Programming, exploring and finding new solutions are my daily motivations. Over the past years as a Java (Senior-) Consultant I have successfully developed and supervised many challenging Java middleware and web projects. Next to my consulting position, I am responsible for Java R&D and Java EE trainings. In my spare time I do a lot of open source programming, I am the creator of JacpFX (asynchronous RCP with JavaFX) and currently working on vxms, a Vert.X based microservice framework. As a Java conference speaker, author of many articles and member of various communities like Hackergarten and Jug I am always interested in sharing my ideas and knowledge.
