Speaker: David Van Couvering

David Van Couvering has been designing, building and delivering enterprise software since he first started at Sybase in 1988, converting tests from C to COBOL. His checkered past includes architecting one of the first Java application servers at Sybase, working on a series of explosively failing startups, architecting a clustered Java EE application server at Sun Microsystems, migrating a Ruby monolith to Java microservices at a health care startup, and using domain-driven design to drive a re-architecture of the core space management system at WeWork. He is currently working under eBay’s chief architect on a company-wide initiative to improve software delivery performance at eBay. David also offers his services as a consultant to organizations who want help scaling and optimizing their software architecture and software delivery practices.
