Max Rydahl Andersen

Red Hat

Max co-leads Quarkus and created JBang, focusing on Developer Joy and productivity.
Developer joy plays a central part of Max’s 20+ years of experience as a professional open-source contributor. Max worked on Hibernate/Hibernate Tools, WildFly, Seam, and Ceylon. Max led the team behind JBoss Tools and Developer Studio until starting work on Quarkus.
Max has a keen interest in moving the Java ecosystem forward and making it more accessible. To that end he created JBang a tool to bring back developer joy to Java and works closely with teams defining and exploring making native image for Java a reality using GraalVM/Mandrel, Leyden and Quarkus. Max also worked in Python, especially around Home Assistant and command line tools.
