What am I doing here

I work full-time on open-source projects, focusing on community-driven initiatives. This adventure began in February 2020, and I’ve never looked back. My primary focus is on the AsyncAPI Initiative, where I serve as a maintainer, a member of the Technical Steering Committee, and the Executive Director.

In addition to my technical work, I’m passionate about educating people on the value of open-source—teaching companies how they can get involved and why investing in open-source is a crucial decision for their future success.

For Hire

AsyncAPI Expert

I have hands-on experience with AsyncAPI, having previously used it as a product owner responsible for building an Event Catalog. For the past four years, I’ve been one of the maintainers of the AsyncAPI specification and have contributed to several AsyncAPI-related tools. My primary focus is code generation, where I play a key role in advancing the development of the AsyncAPI Generator, which has become the most popular AsyncAPI tool based on GitHub stars.

I possess an in-depth understanding of the AsyncAPI specification, organizational processes, and the entire tooling ecosystem. I can provide expert consulting services, offering valuable insights and guidance for projects using AsyncAPI.

Open Source Expert

I’ve been actively involved in open source for over a decade, with more than four years as a full-time maintainer. I’ve had the unique experience of driving open-source-focused development within a corporate environment, collaborating closely with internal OSPOs as an open-source ambassador. This has involved pushing boundaries, educating teams, and ensuring the organization was fully immersed in the open-source culture.

On the flip side, I’ve also worked with external companies, understanding their needs and helping them to support open-source in meaningful ways. I can assist your company in establishing a strong open-source culture, helping you understand how open-source works, and showing why it’s a worthwhile investment for long-term success.

I have experience with:

  • building and scaling open-source communities
  • organizing online conferences and in-person events
  • securing sponsorships for open-source projects
  • working within open governance communities

The only thing I'm not good at is selling myself.

@derberg

Reaching the milestone of 100 sponsors will mean that my work resonates with a large group of people. It signifies that what I’m building is meaningful, and nothing motivates an open-source maintainer more than the knowledge that their efforts are valued and impactful to others.
