With over 13 years of experience working in the Java industry, I have a passion for fostering developer communities, growing open source projects, and shaping the future of Java and Jakarta EE. My expertise lies in marketing communications which I use to drive collaboration and knowledge-sharing among developers.

Over the years of working with various Java middleware technologies, I've been involved in educating Java developers about products, frameworks and tools that make their work lives easier and empowering them to stay at the forefront of Java innovation.

As one of the original team members at Payara, working on company's Java runtimes from day one, I've been contributing to the creation of Payara brand as well as growing and educating Payara users' community. In my current role of a Senior Marketing Specialist and Community Builder, I'm organising and hosting regular developer focused educational events (monthly webinars, Payara Podcast, Virtual Payara Conference) featuring Java Champions, Jakarta EE experts and experienced Java Developers.
