Claus Ibsen

Claus Ibsen has worked as a software engineer and architect for more than 20 years. He has often worked with integration in various forms, from integrating with legacy systems on AS/400s to building custom in-house integration frameworks. Claus has designed and architected a large solution for custom clearance for the district of Shanghai, China. He tracks the trends in the open source integration space, and it led him to Apache Camel in late 2007.

He became a committer in March 2008. In the beginning of 2009, he joined FuseSource as full-time developer on Camel and has not looked back since. He currently holds a position as senior principal software engineer at Red Hat, working as project lead on Apache Camel.

Claus also works on other open source projects related to integration, such as JBoss Fuse, Apache ActiveMQ, fabric8, hawtio, Syndesis, and Vert.X. Claus is a regular speaker at conferences, so you may have the chance to meet him face to face.

In his spare time Claus is a keen runner of half marathons. (Thank you, Jonas, for pushing me to run longer distances.) He has plans to go the full distance. He also enjoys traveling, and if the work-travel isn’t sufficient he may consider going on leave to become a backpacker once again.

Claus lives in his hometown of Esbjerg, Denmark.
