Very good communicator. And one of the most 'balanced' speakers. I have seen a few people get so stuck in topics that they forget about the bigger contexts (for example, craftsmanship, microservices). He always looked pragmatic in his approach (for example, tech debt). Possibly because he is not only a consultant but works for a company that delivers things into production- and comes up with radar).

He can explain the overall concepts very well. You can then go into details. (Refactoring book, UML distilled, NoSQL distilled, etc. I even learned LMAX first from his bliki.)

Going by blogs on his site and his signature series books, I certainly look forward to things he will write/ contribute to.
