I'm Paulo and I've used my 10+ years of software development experience writing, rewriting, banging my head against the wall, editing and re-editing high-performance web application to make Vert.x an even more awesome framework. I am also the author of "yoke" and other small open source projects. I jump out of bed with a big smile on my face each morning because I know reactive microservices are real and will finally put monoliths and big balls of mud to an end. This is more than a job; I'm on a mission to build fast and faster applications!
