Jose is an experienced application and solutions architect who understands and appreciates the impact IT brings to the world. Currently, he heads the Integration, Distributed Architectures (or Cloud-Native, Microservices, Serverless as they are now called) and Innovative Digital Channels service portfolio at Link Consulting, a highly-specialized boutique IT consulting company. He also manages Link`s main technology partnerships. A strong believer that an IT architect needs to "get his hands dirty" and not "just draw boxes", he keeps coding as much as he can, either on work-related projects (mainly Presales stuff: demos, MVPs and PoCs) or when sharing knowledge (training, conference demos). Jose is also a strong communicator, with several presentations in conferences like Oracle Open World, Oracle Code One, DOAG, NLOUG, NOUG, and others, and a mentor, having supervised more than a few MSc theses and mentoring several software engineers within the company. This experience has given him the ability to translate complex IT and business problems into easy to understand descriptions and approaches, making it easy to address those problems with solutions that are efficient and well built. Since 2017 he`s been working more on distributed architecture patterns (cloud-native, microservices, serverless), focusing on integration (with a strong emphasis on API design and best-practices) and data management in distributed applications. In his own words, he loves APIs. He`s always available to discuss these and other topics. Just drop him a message.
