Hi everyone, I’m Mickael. I’m a frenchman living in the UK. I work as a Software Engineer at IBM. I’ve worked with Apache Kafka since 2015 and started contributing in 2016. I became committer last year and joined the PMC in July this year. I also contribute to a few third party clients and I’m a committer on node-rdkafka and sarama. I really enjoy interacting and sharing knowledge with the community. I’ve been publishing “Kafka Monthly Digest” articles for almost 3 years now. I’ve also had the chance to present at Kafka Summit a couple of times and I try to answer questions on the apache-kafka tag on StackOverflow. ---
