About me: Austrian / American java developer / architect with ~20 years of experience, working in Seattle for everybody's favorite eCommerce company (views are my own). 47 y/o, married to a lovely German wife and father of three. Hold a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo (Kukkiwon), love Monty Python and appreciate a good glass of Whisk(e)y.

Maven / Spring / Guava fanboy, somewhat interested in Scala. Love hacky stuff like reflection, AOP, annotation processing, code generation etc. Java is like democracy: it sucks, but everything else is worse.
