About Me

Hello, my name is Bilgin Ibryam (@bibryam), and welcome to my blog! I'm a product manager at Diagrid, and a former architect from Red Hat, an ASF member, Apache Isis, Apache Camel, and Apache OFBiz committer, speaker, author, and blogger. I'm an open source veteran, passionate about decentralized systems, application and data integration, Kubernetes, and blockchain. My current work is focused on helping customers to be successful with the adoption of emerging technologies through proven and repeatable patterns and practices.
I'm also the author of Kubernetes Patterns, Camel Design Patterns, and Instant Apache Camel Message Routing books. On this blog, you will find my thoughts about Blockchain, Open Source, Apache Camel, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, etc. My posts are also published on InfoQ, InfoQ.cn, DZone, Java Code Geeks, Medium, Red Hat, OpenSource.com, The New Stack, Kubernetes, JAX Magazine, TechCrunch, HackerNoon, and other places. Check out my slides on SpeakerDeck, SlideShare, and patents on justia.
