Developer, turned to consulting, developer relations, sales, and landed in marketing.

Writing books for #Oreilly.
Into Java, Kubernetes and such.

Legal called to tell you that I'm not officially speaking for IBM.
I finally did it — built my own EdWordle-style word cloud generator in Java 😄
Runs on Quarkus, streams PNGs over REST, and has a slick Qute UI to tweak everything live. Super fun project.

Still mapping Java enums the old way?

Quarkus 3 + Hibernate 7 now make it effortless with @EnumeratedValue.
No converters. No magic numbers. Just clean, type-safe mapping that works.

Someone told me my posts “sound like AI.”
So I built an AI detector in Java with Quarkus + LangChain4j.

It turns out detection is harder — and more fascinating — than you’d think.

Not your usual hashing guide.
In this new Quarkus post, I turn digest functions into tools for colors, cache keys, and distributed systems.
Because creativity in code starts with the little things.

A week in Crete with barely any Wi-Fi made me miss the days when phones were our music players.

So I built one — a reactive MP3 player in Java using Quarkus + Mutiny, complete with metadata extraction.

Streaming reimagined, the Java way.

NullPointerExceptions are still the #1 reason Java apps crash in production.

Here’s a better way: catch them at compile time using JSpecify and NullAway in Quarkus.
Simple setup, zero runtime cost.

Passwords you can say are passwords you can lose.
In this new Quarkus tutorial, I show how to rate passwords not just by entropy—but by pronounceability.

Java + Apache Commons Codec + phonetic analysis = smarter security.

Quarkus 3.26 quietly gave Qute a superpower.
With dynamic includes (_id), templates can now adapt at runtime. Perfect for dashboards, CMS pages, and feature-flagged UIs.

When ideas compile swiftly, the bottleneck is you. AI can rapidly scaffold a Quarkus app, yet imagination and clarity remain hurdles. I think about self-writing code, identifying thought deadlocks with LLMs, and the impact of mental health on modern software architecture. buff.ly/RE5TcPu #AI
