About Me

Hello, my name is Bilgin Ibryam (@bibryam) and welcome to my blog! I'm a software craftsman, a product manager for Debezium and a former architect at Red Hat, an ASF member, Apache Isis, Apache Camel and Apache OFBiz committer, speaker, author, and a blogger. I'm an open source fanatic, passionate about distributed 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.
