DZone Profile

Best of 2023

I am responsible for spreading the good word of Apache NiFi, Apache Flink and Apache Kafka. I accomplish this by doing talks, meetups, articles, podcasts, videos, demos, GenAI art, repositories, newsletters, and other content. I want to enable Developers, Engineers, Architects, Data Engineers and any users of data. It’s a two way street as we help all of these streaming projects with users requests and needs.
