Hello! I'm Bazlur, a Software Engineer with over a decade of professional experience in the software industry, primarily focused on Java and related technologies. I was recently honored with the title of Java Champion.

Beyond my regular work, I am passionate about mentoring, writing, speaking at conferences, and contributing to open-source projects. I founded and currently moderate the Java User Group in Bangladesh, organizing meetups and conferences to share Java-related knowledge with the community since 2013. I was named a Most Valuable Blogger (MVP) by DZone, one of the world's most recognized technology publishers. Additionally, I serve as an editor for the Java Queue at InfoQ, another leading technology content publisher and conference organizer, and at Foojay.io, a platform for OpenJDK enthusiasts. I have also published five bestselling books about the Java programming language in Bengali.

I am currently writing a new book with O'Reilly titled "Modern Concurrency in Java."

I hold a bachelor's degree in Information Technology, majoring in Software Engineering, from the Institute of Information Technology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I currently reside in Toronto, Canada.

JEP 474, ZGC: Generational Mode by Default, has also been targeted for JDK 23. This JEP proposes to use the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) from non-generational to generational mode by default. The non-generational mode will be deprecated and removed in a future JDK release. This will reduce the cost of maintaining the two modes, so future development can primarily focus on Generational ZGC.... Read further^

JEP 460, Vector API (Seventh Incubator), has been delivered for JDK 22, marking the culmination of iterative enhancements from its initial incubation in JDK 16 through to JEP 448 in JDK 21.
