Alex Bretet is a certified Java and Spring Integration engineer. Currently working at Thunderhead, a pioneer company and global actor among SaaS providers, he has a rich developer background from different industries including energy, insurance, finance, and the Internet. Captivated by the Internet's communication capabilities and by start-ups, he believes in skunk development outcomes (when groups of like-minded people together achieve unbelievable targets on tight deadlines). He also defends a number of open source initiatives and indeed Spring technologies, whose pragmatism constantly disrupts the most established practices and offers valuable alternatives for the benefit of all.
