Michael Hunger has been passionate about software development for a long time. He is particularly interested in the people who develop software, software craftsmanship, programming languages, and improving code.
For the past few years, he has been working with Neo Technology on the Neo4j graph database. As the project lead of Spring Data Neo4j, he helped develop the idea to make it a convenient and complete solution for object graph mapping. He now takes care of all the aspects of the Neo4j developer community.
Good relationships are everywhere in Michael's life. His life revolves around his family and children, running his coffee shop and co-working space, having fun in the depths of a text-based, multiuser dungeon, tinkering with and without Lego, and much more.
As a developer, he loves to work with many aspects of programming languages—learning new things every day, participating in exciting and ambitious open source projects, and contributing and writing software-related books and articles. He is also an active speaker at conferences and events, and a longtime editor at InfoQ.
He is one of the important contributors to the expert book, 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know by Kevin Henney, O'Reilly.
He has co-authored Spring Data, by Mark Pollack, Oliver Gierke, Thomas Risberg, and Jon Brisbin, O'Reilly and has also reviewed the following books:
