International Speaker, JavaChampion, Cofounder of JBCNConf and DevBcn conferences in Barcelona, and AI4Devs conference in Amsterdam.

Currently working as a Staff Developer Advocate in Java at Sonar (SonarQube), focused on Code Quality, Dev Productivity, AI & Security.

I have worked as a (paid) developer for more than 30 years ago using multiple languajes, but for the last 15 using Java. Although I started when I was 14 with my Amstrad CPC 6128 🙂

I am very interested in simulated reality, psychology, philosophy, and Java.

J. B. Rainsberger (https://bsky.app/profile/jbrains.ca, @[email protected], https://www.jbrains.ca) is a professional 5-pin bowler who enjoys consulting with software development professionals and the companies that employ them. He guides companies to improve results while he helps individuals work with less stress. He wants everyone to actually realize the promised benefits of Lightweight, Conversational approaches to software development. This includes helping folks making sense of the "Agile" chaos of the past quarter-century. Companies engage him for remote working sessions, training courses, on-site workshops, and in-person consulting visits. Individuals, especially those stuck in companies that don't have the budget for formal consulting, get the help they need from J. B.'s mentoring group. (They can often convince their employer to pay for that!) He lives in Atlantic Canada with his wife, Sarah, who is showing the Open Source world how to guide a mostly-volunteer project community to produce high-quality documentation. They travel to Europe less often than they used to, which makes each visit even more enjoyable.
