Top SchoolEmmanuel Hugonnet is a Senior Software Developer with 17 years of experience building and modernizing enterprise Java systems, currently working at IBM after a long tenure at Red Hat where he was a core developer on WildFly and JMS/Artemis integration. Trained as an engineer in physics and materials chemistry, he combines analytical rigor with pragmatic software architecture—migrating legacy J2EE platforms to modern JakartaEE, REST and CI-driven workflows. A prolific open-source contributor and NetBeans PMC member, his commits span installer UX fixes to deep backend runtime and security improvements in projects like WildFly and ActiveMQ Artemis. He co-founded Grenoble’s Alpes JUG and created the SnowCamp developer conference, demonstrating a commitment to community building and developer experience. Known for solving tricky integration and lifecycle issues (e.g., JGroups/ResourceAdapter and PostgreSQL journal work), he brings both systems-level insight and hands-on bug-to-feature delivery. Based in Barraux, France, he blends developer tooling, cloud readiness, and practical generative-AI experimentation into production-focused engineering.
