Senior Software Engineer in the Java Platform team, working on making the developer experience for Netflix developers great. Currently focussed on GraphQL in Java.

I'm working as a software architect for Luminis Technologies, where I'm currently leading the team that develops the CloudRTI; a Kubernetes/Docker based service that takes care of DevOps tasks like blue/green deployment, failover, centralised logging and monitoring. The CloudRTI is a product evolved out of several years of experience running and automating large Amazon EC2 deployments.

I'm the author of “Building Modular Cloud Apps With OSGi” published by O'Reilly and an advocate for modularity in software. I'm also deeply involved in Amdatu, an open source library for highly modular OSGi components, and several other open source projects. I'm a regular speaker on conferences speaking both about modularity/OSGi related topics, and topics related to Kubernetes and cloud architecture in general. A list of recent conferences can be found on my blog: http://paulbakker.io/about/ I have a background as a full time trainer and still give training on a regular base.

Some of the technologies I'm currently working with include: OSGi, Amdatu, Kubernetes, Docker, Go, AngularJS, TypeScript.

Note to recruiters: Don't bother contacting me about random freelance gigs, I'm not interested.

As a developer I work on Amdatu, the PaaS offering from Luminis and the offerings based on this platform. I'm also a regular speaker on conferences and author for Java Magazine.

I'm a trainer for Java related courses and seminars. The list of courses includes Java language courses, JSF, EJB3, Spring, Hibernate, JavaFX, Seam, Advanced Java and more.
