Nicolai Parlog

Nicolai Parlog advocates for Java developers, helping the community navigate modern language features and architectural patterns.

He focuses heavily on data-oriented programming. In his talks, Nicolai breaks down how to model data immutably and use pattern matching to handle polymorphism cleanly. Rather than pushing a single paradigm, he shows engineers exactly when to choose data-oriented structures over traditional object-oriented code—and when to walk away from them.
