Allard Buijze is Founder and CTO of AxonIQ. Starting at the age of 6, he has developed a great passion for programming and has guided both large and small organizations in building performant and scalable applications. Now, he is on a mission to make implementations of large scale systems easier, using the concepts of Domain Driven Design, Command-Query Responsiblity Segregation and Event Driven Architectures. He created Axon Framework as an experiment initially, but when both large and organizations started using Axon as a solution to their complexity problems, AxonIQ was born.

Allard brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to this role. As a former software architect specializing within the field of "scalability" and "performance", he has worked on several small and large projects, where performance is often a recurring theme. Allard is convinced that a good domain model is the beginning of contributing to the overall performance of an application. From this conviction, he has developed the Axon Framework. He regularly gives workshops and trainings in frameworks, best practices and architecture. He also regularly speaks at conferences, seminars and meet-ups.
