Jonathan Vila

Sonar

International Speaker, JavaChampion, Cofounder of JBCNConf and DevBcn conferences in Barcelona, and AI4Devs conference in Amsterdam.

Currently working as a Staff Developer Advocate in Java at Sonar (SonarQube), focused on Code Quality, Dev Productivity, AI & Security.

I have worked as a (paid) developer for more than 30 years ago using multiple languajes, but for the last 15 using Java. Although I started when I was 14 with my Amstrad CPC 6128 :)

I am very interested in simulated reality, psychology, philosophy, and Java.
