BIO
Joris Kuipers is a Senior Consultant for Interface21 in The Netherlands. Starting out in 1999 as one of the core members of a Research & Development team, he investigated amongst other things the IBM SanFrancisco framework (a J2EE predecessor) and the use of various XML-related technologies. Joris specialized in J2EE technology and became the Java Technical Consultant for the Dutch Central Bank in 2003. In this role, he was responsible for all development technologies and processes used in the Java department. He streamlined the software configuration management process by introducing automated builds and continuous integration, migrated system development from a traditional EJB-based environment to a modern, light-weight stack based on Spring and Hibernate and supported developers in their day-to-day work as the local Java guru.
During this period, he also became a committer on CruiseControl, a widely used continuous integration tool.
In April 2007, Joris joined SpringSource as a trainer and consultant.
