Hello there, I’m a software engineer and architect (ex Senior Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat as Middleware Chief Architect).
I’m co-founder and CTO of Hadronic, where we make AI a first-class citizen of the enterprise Java stack. Open source at the core, sovereignty as a design goal.
I also run Hexactgon, my advisory practice on agentic and Java applications.
Before that I spent 20 years in Professional Open Source, where I led the Quarkus and Hibernate projects.
