My bio

Old School / New World Data Adventurer - Bigger, Faster, Cheaper solutions over the last 25 years from Oracle 6 on AIX through 7 on OpenVMS through 8 Parallel Server on OpenVMS and Solaris yada, yada, yada through to Asia-Pacs most pointless Exadata rig then Europe's biggest, shortest lived, sadly shredded Exadata rig. Then I gleefully abandoned all that lovely safe proprietry stuff to go Bigger, Faster, Cheaper with new generation tech - DataBricks, StreamSets, AWS, Impala & Kudu etc. Solution Discovery, Investigation, Archaeology and Pathology. I'm always on the lookout for fun new challenges and opportunities. Mogens suggested I throw my hat in the ring for joining - so here I am.
