Hanno Embregts

Hanno Embregts is a Java Developer with a passion for learning, teaching and making music. In his day-to-day job as a Teacher / Technology Advocate at Info Support, Hanno prefers work that is fast-paced and versatile. This is why he juggles Java development, software architecture, public speaking, leading Info Support’s Speaker Community and teaching courses at Info Support’s Knowledge Centre. Hanno is a Java Champion, an Oracle ACE Pro and one of the leaders of the NLJUG (the Dutch Java User Group). Outside of work Hanno likes making music with his friends. He plays the flute, the guitar and he likes to sing. Software conferences are Hanno’s favourite thing in the world, because they allow him to do the three things he loves most at the same time: learning new things, teaching others about stuff he discovered and yes: even making music from time to time!
