Founder, DefMacro Software
Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.
He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.
He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).
Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.
Presentations
jRuby Workshop
The last decade has seen an explosion in the number of languages targeting the Java runtime. Amongst these, one of the (arguably) strong contenders is JRuby - a 100% Java port of the Ruby language. Ruby aims to make programmers “happy”, and with JRuby you can find happiness without having to leave your favorite runtime! JRuby also provides deep integration with Java, allowing you to leverage existing Java libraries while writing code that is succinct, elegant and beautiful.
