Steven is a lead developer at AxonIQ with a keen interest in new and exciting technologies and methodologies. In the last couple of years, Axon Framework has fulfilled this interest; by its take on software architecture. This eventually led him to become a part of the AxonIQ team. There, he further develops the framework and other AxonIQ products, helps clients use Axon in practice, provides training, and is active in the community. He is always keen to learn and improve himself by, for example, reading up on more abstract concepts like DDD, messaging patterns, and event sourcing. He also keeps himself updated with more concrete topics like new frameworks and languages to improve his skills.
