Next to my speaking engagements, I’ve also been a guest in several popular podcasts.

Barcoding (2020)

My first podcast appearance was back in 2020, where I joined the Barcoding podcast together with Robert Scholte. Check out the episode!

Beyond Coding (2022)

More recently, in 2022, I joined the Beyond Coding podcast together with Paulo Lopes. We discussed disputes and social problems, making it easier to start contributing to open source, improving the open source model further and the omnipresent “not invented here syndrome”. You can listen to the episode, or even watch it!

Wicked Good Development (2022)

Also in 2022, when I attended Devnexus, I did an ad-hoc interview with Kadi G and A.J. Brown of Sonatype. We’ve discussed open-source, Maven and a few topics in the JVM ecosystem in general. You can listen the episode; there is no video recording available.

Foojay.io, the Friends Of OpenJDK! (2023)

In the first months of 2023, I have had a very interesting and fun conversation with Tim te Beek, Lukas Eder and Frank Delporte in the Foojay.io podcast. We’ve discussed our experiences in working professionally on open source software, either as an independent software engineer (Lukas), employed by a company that sells the software (Tim) or as a regular contributor working in a different business (me). You can listen the episode, but there’s also a video recording available.

Business vooruit met IT #26: Snelle en eenvoudige portability met Dapr

In this episode of “Business Vooruit met IT”, a Dutch podcast about Business & IT, I talk with Michaël Hompus and Edwin van Wijk (both Microsoft MVP’s) about portability. We discuss the possibilities to easily move applications between different environments, without having to adjust the code. The focus is on Dapr, a tool that can greatly simplify this process. You can watch the podcast on YouTube.

I also wrote a few articles for online magazines and blogs and for print magazines:
