Hi everyone! I’m Florian, working as Consultant and Apache Kafka Expert for StreamThought, the company I founded with another Software Engineer. My main focus is to help organisations implement event-driven architectures and systems by leveraing the Apache Kafka ecosystem.

I’ve got the chance to contribute to some KIPs for Kafka Streams.

Since 2019, I’m part of the Confluent Community Catalyst Program and I’m working on two open-source Kafka based projects: [Kafka Connect FilePulse](https://streamthoughts.github.io/kafka-connect-file-pulse/) and [Azkarra Streams](https://www.azkarrastreams.io/).

Looking forward to chatting with you all!  
Florian.
