OFBizian: About Me

About Bilgin Ibryam

Hi, I’m Bilgin Ibryam (@bibryam). I’m a product manager at Diagrid, a former architect at Red Hat, an Apache Software Foundation member, and an Apache Camel, Apache OFBiz, and Apache Isis committer.

I write, speak, and build around cloud-native systems, distributed application patterns, Kubernetes, Dapr, integration, GenAI, AI-assisted coding, LLMs, and agentic applications.

My work is centered on a simple idea: recurring engineering problems deserve reusable patterns. I try to capture those patterns through books, talks, articles, open source, and my newsletter, so teams can build production software with less guesswork.

The Generative Programmer My active newsletter on software development in the age of generative AI. Prompt Patterns My latest book project and public catalog of reusable prompt design patterns. X / Twitter 80K+ followers. I share news and commentary on agentic apps, AI-assisted coding, LLMs, cloud, and distributed systems. Invite Me to Speak Conference and meetup speaking profile on Sessionize.

Current Focus

I’m currently focused on production-ready agentic applications, durable execution, AI-assisted software delivery, prompt patterns, and cloud-native application architecture. I’m especially interested in how practical patterns can help teams move from demos to systems that can be operated, observed, recovered, and improved over time.

Books and Long-Form Work

Prompt Patterns — my latest book project: a pattern language for prompt design and knowledge work with large language models.
Kubernetes Patterns — reusable patterns for designing and operating cloud-native applications on Kubernetes.
