Emmanuel Bernard

For people in a big hurry, check the quick pointers below the picture.

For people less in a hurry, but still with better things to do, here is the elevator pitch. I am an Open Source actor. Member of the Hibernate team, I am the founder, co-founder and lead of the following projects Hibernate Search, Hibernate Validator, Hibernate OGM. My favorite nowadays is Hibernate OGM.

I am a regular speaker at various Java events and the co-author of Hibernate Search in Action from Manning. I participate in the JCP as expert group member of Java Persistence 2 and spec lead of Bean Validation. I am speaking to various Java events around my work. JBoss is feeding me, both financially and mentally, so thank you :)

Beyond work, I enjoy economy, physics, good food from all over the world, travel, wine, snowboarding, hiking, understanding the world, arguing for the pleasure of it and a few other things.

My Book

Beyond the regular internet publications, I am currently writing a book on Hibernate Search for Manning: Hibernate Search in Action. If you are interested in enhancing search in your Hibernate applications, check out the project and go buy the book.

Interesting experience but very very time consuming. Of course, most of my work these days is open source and thus publicly available.

Means of Communications

To talk to the world, I use various blogs (like a gazillions of people). in.relation.to is my team blog. My contribution can be found at in.relation.to/Bloggers/Emmanuel. Anything related to Hibernate, Seam, JBoss and databases can be found there.

blog.emmanuelbernard.com is a more personal blog. Mostly focused on development and professional life: anything techy or focus on organization.

@emmanuelbernard on Twitter is my microblog. Anything that crosses my mind while not too far from a keyboard.

Day Job

After having worked on it at night for a few years and thanks to JBoss and its business model, my day job is fully dedicated to Hibernate and Open Source. I (co-)started and lead Hibernate Annotation, Hibernate EntityManager, Hibernate Validator, Hibernate Search.

I participate in the JCP as expert group member of Java Persistence 2 and as specification lead of Bean Validation.

Speaker

I have been speaking at various conferences and user groups around the world. Thank to anyone that welcomed me in their respective country, each time was a blast.
