Hi Folks!

Did you know?
 
We have a new Developer Advocate that started on the 1st of May! Here's a message from him:

LinkedInPFP.jpg

Heya! My name is Kwok He Chu. For the past 6 years, I have worked as a backend .NET engineer. I've built and managed multiple backend APIs in a microservice architecture, terraformed cloud infrastructure and written continuous integration/deployment pipelines to bring these applications from development all the way to production. I also took production down from time-to-time, but uhm- let’s not talk about that... My main focus will be maintaining our Adyen example integration libraries, answering technical questions from external developers and sharing engineering knowledge in the form of blogposts or videos. I am looking forward to working with everyone and putting the Adyen tech-stack in the spotlight for the years-to-come. If you see me at a conference, feel free to say hi and if you have any questions, let's connect on LinkedIn!

Tips and resources
 
Adyen Tech Radar
Let's take autonomy within Adyen to the next level. How can one individual propose a new technology to be used across the entire company? How can this individual know if there's anybody else already trying it out, and join forces instead of reinventing the wheel? How could these ideas be heard, get attention and become relevant? How much freedom do we expect from our engineers to make these decisions? Read more in our Adyen Tech Radar post.
