### The FODcast - Episode 6/Season 5

Cabiri CEO [Rex Bigger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rexbigger/) joins [James Hodges](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshodges001/), Director of [Simply Commerce](https://simply-commerce.co.uk/) for a composable conversation. Simply Commerce, as James eloquently puts it - make exceptional ordinary. One of the ways they do this is though in-depth industry understanding, Simply Commerce prioritise enquiry and understanding, clearly visible in their [FODcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/4198OAakcPvOdr5VCq6R8S) (Spotify). If you haven’t got your FOD on already, then do it.

With over 25 years working in the tech and IT sector following a first-class degree in Astrophysics from UCL, Rex has a vast amount of experience. With a varied career that has seen him work as a Senior Java Developer for the likes of MTV and Disney, before moving into Consultancy roles with Philips and E2X Limited (now part of Apply Digital), leading projects for high-profile clients, including LEGO and IKEA.

In this FOD, Rex spotlights the early days of composable ( _before the term itself even existed_) and why Cabiri chose to join the MACH Alliance in late 2023. Considering future developments within IT more generally. Whether its cyclical nature leads to a new and advanced generation of monoliths, which could be where we eventually land. As businesses embrace composable, but with a desire for a homogeneous interface.
