Holly Cummins is a Senior Principal Software Engineer on the Red Hat Quarkus team and a Java Champion. Over her career, Holly has been a full-stack javascript developer, a build architect, a client-facing consultant, a JVM performance engineer, and an innovation leader. Holly has led projects to understand climate risks, count fish, help a blind athlete run ultra-marathons in the desert solo, and invent stories (although not at all the same time). She gets worked up about sustainability, technical empathy, extreme programming, the importance of proper testing, and automating all the things. You can find her at http://hollycummins.com, or follow her on socials at @holly_cummins.
Some of her interesting work has been her narrative on “People, Planet and Clouds”, where she integrates how engineers/the cloud or the energy they use up, can impact climate change!
Another example was to contribute in working with a technology that helped a blind man run a marathon in the desert. These are world problems that should be handled, managed, and worked for, and she uses her advanced technological skills to impact them. Holly is also an author and regular keynote speaker. You can find her books here
