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.
A complete Quarkus tutorial that builds a global event orchestrator — Quartz scheduling, WebSockets, PostgreSQL Dev Services, and a live 3D globe to visualize deliveries.

If you want to level up your time-zone aware scheduling in Java, this one’s for you.

Java + scripting vibes?
JBang makes it real.

I wrote a hands-on walkthrough showing how to build real tools in a single Java file—CLI apps, API callers, even tiny Quarkus services.

Fast, fun, and surprisingly powerful.

The conversations I’ve had this year with Java devs learning Quarkus were remarkably similar.

Different people. Same 10 questions.
And once those questions are answered… Quarkus finally clicks.

I turned all those hallway chats + community threads into one guide:

Build your first reactive messaging app with Quarkus.

I turned a classic “order → kitchen → notification” workflow into a fully reactive pipeline with channels, stream completion, and message transformation. No Kafka needed. Pure Quarkus.

I built a Secret Santa API with Quarkus and turned it into a full tutorial.

REST API → Wishlists → Pairings → Email Notifications → PostgreSQL via Dev Services.

A festive way to learn modern Quarkus patterns.

AI doesn’t magically fix legacy Java systems. It makes good thinking more powerful + bad thinking much more expensive.

I go through Dex Horthy’s ideas with a Java lens:
• context engineering
• architectural drift
• modernization without regressions
• keeping system intent explicit

Quarkus + PostgreSQL = native full-text search (with ranking + snippets) — no Elasticsearch required.

In the tutorial we:
• Create a generated tsvector column
• Run ranked queries via Hibernate Panache
• Build a Qute search UI

Ever wondered how Quarkus builds its Dev UI?
It’s Vaadin under the hood — and it’s actually great for building your own apps too.

I wrote a full hands-on tutorial showing how to build a clean task manager UI using #Vaadin Flow + #Quarkus, all in pure #Java. Zero JavaScript drama.
