I am an event driven architectureal connoisseur and focus only on architectures centered around DDD / CQRS / Event Sourcing. I specialize in implementations around Axon / Eventuate and EventStore (Hey if you got a new event sourcing framework that I do not know please send it out to me - vijay.nair@practicalddd.com). I act as a platform architect for my day job, an independent evangelist for DDD/CQRS/ES and also am an InfoQ editor for the architectural and design streams. I am also the author of the book - Practical Domain Driven Design with Enterprise Java (Apress)

Allard Buijze is software architect at Trifork, which delivers software development, consultancy and training services to both national and international organizations. As an architect, he is responsible for the technical choices in his projects and investigates technologies for their potential in the diversity of projects Trifork does. For the last decade, he has been developing and designing enterprise applications for both large-scale and smaller projects. His focus has always been on clean application design, maintainability and testing. The training of co-developers is a very important part thereof.

Allard has given several trainings in the areas of scalable architectures, test driven development, application design and clean coding. He strongly believes that good craftsmanship can only be achieved through continuous and intensive exchange of experience with others.

The last years, he has been investigating and applying CQRS to a number of projects. As a result, he created the Axon Framework, an open source Java framework that helps developers create scalable and extensible applications by providing the building blocks that CQRS based infrastructures typically require. Axon has a growing community and has already been successfully introduced in several projects around the world.
