Meet The Team

Foojay is run by a small team of Java community people, backed by a much larger group of contributors, authors and podcast guests who make the site what it is day to day. Here's who's steering the ship.

Geertjan Wielenga

Founder of Foojay

Geertjan founded Foojay and is still the driving force behind it, staying deeply involved in the community he built. He's an open source and Java enthusiast, a Java Champion, an Apache Member, and leader of the Amsterdam Java User Group.

Frank Delporte

Lead Reviewer, Editor & Contributor · Host of the Foojay Podcast

Frank is Foojay's main reviewer, editor, and contributor, and hosts the Foojay Podcast. He's a Java Champion, a Senior Technical Writer at Azul, and the author of Java Programming for Raspberry Pi — A Hands-On Guide to Electronics and IoT Projects. He writes and talks about Java in business production environments, but also in places people don't always expect it - on the Raspberry Pi, driving GPIO pins, rendering JavaFX UIs, and running on RISC-V single-board computers.

Dominika Tasarz-Sochacka

Community, Editing, Maintenance & Sponsorships

Dominika is the newest addition to the Foojay team, looking after community, editing, platform maintenance, and sponsorships, alongside contributing her own community content. She's a community builder focused on growing the global Java and Jakarta EE ecosystems, specializing in community strategy, open source engagement, and developer-focused technical marketing.
