With over 13 years in the Java industry, I am passionate about fostering developer communities, growing open-source projects, and advancing Java and Jakarta EE. My expertise in marketing communications drives collaboration and knowledge-sharing among developers. I've educated Java developers on middleware technologies, products, frameworks, and tools, empowering them to stay at the forefront of innovation. As an original team member at Payara, I've contributed to building the brand and growing the user community. Currently, as a Senior Marketing Specialist and Community Builder, I organize and host educational events featuring Java experts.

Jakarta EE 11 is Here - And It's Ready for the Cloud!

Earlier today, the Eclipse Foundation together with its vendor members, partners and community has announced the release of Jakarta EE 11, the latest version of its enterprise Java platform. Building on the Core Profile (Dec 2024) and Web Profile (Mar 2025), this release brings powerful new features aimed at boosting developer productivity and simplifying cloud-native development.

Join our webinar! AI Tools for Jakarta EE

The way we build enterprise applications is changing - and fast. With artificial intelligence reshaping nearly every aspect of software development, Jakarta EE is no exception.

Join us for this webinar (REGISTER HERE), where we'll explore how AI-powered tools are optimizing the entire Jakarta EE development lifecycle - from bootstrapping new projects to creating production-ready full-stack applications. Join Gaurav Gupta, Senior Software Engineer at Payara, as he takes the stage to deliver a live, real-world demonstration of how AI-enhanced tools are changing the game.

Announcing Virtual Payara Conference - Enterprise Java Modernization Made Simple

Join our webinar! Engineering a Modern Java Platform: Making Kubernetes Work for Java Teams

Running traditional Java applications in Kubernetes environments can be a complex challenge. From runtime configuration issues to memory management mismatches, many Java workloads aren’t designed with containers in mind. On top of that, adapting familiar Java development tools and practices to the cloud-native world can be a steep learning curve for teams.

In this webinar (REGISTER HERE), we'll explore how Payara is using Platform Engineering to simplify this transition.

Payara Podcast - Java User Group Spotlight – JUG Oberpfalz

For this episode, I had a really interesting chat with Richard Fichtner, the leader of JUG Oberpfalz. Some of you may recognise Richard from many Java industry events, as he’s a frequent conference speaker, but he’s also known as the face of the JCon Conference as one of the organisers of this very popular Java event.

Richard is a Java Champion with 20 years of experience in the software industry. He’s the CEO and Principal Software Architect at XDEV, he’s actively contributing to the open source community through projects like RapidClipse and advocating for best practices in Apache Maven.

Payara Podcast - Java User Group Spotlight – Chicago JUG & Seattle JUG

My guests for this episode of the Payara Podcast JUG Spotlight series are the leaders of Chicago and Seattle Java User Groups – Mary Grygleski and Freddy Guime. 

During our chat, we discussed Mary’s and Freddy’s journey to becoming JUG leaders, we talked about the opportunities that come with being part of a local Java User Group, whether as organisers or members. We also explored the impact of AI on modern Java development, which unsurprisingly has sparked significant interest among both new and existing community members. However, it also presents a challenge—how to ensure the next generation of developers remains effective in a workplace where AI is increasingly integrated into development workflows.
