About Me

 |
I am an Oracle consultant working for Enkitec in Europe. Additionally, I am the co-author of the “Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux book” from Apress. And I like it a lot to present at Oracle Usergroup meetings.
I have been an Oracle DBA for some time now-I started working with the DBMS in 2001. My main interests are high availability and disaster recovery solutions for mission critical 24×7 systems for which I possess a wealth of experience. For some years now I spent more and more time discovering the benefits of virtualisation technologies for Oracle products, mainly by using VMWare ESX Server and Oracle VM.
As of December 2008 I am a proud member of the Oracle Certified Master community, having successfully passed the exam for Database 10g Release 2.I also managed to pass the 9i and 10g OCPs as well as the Oracle Certified Expert for RAC exam.
And if that wasn’t enough, I have been very pleasantly surprised by an email from the Oak Table network, and they invited me to join the best Oracle DBAs! How great an honour is that, I still find it hard to believe.
Oracle has recognised my contributions to the community by granting me the status as an Oracle ACE. Oracle have valued my contributions to the user community high enough to allow me to join the ranks of many great minds.
Still curious? Google me!
My current occupation
I think I actually have reached the goal of getting close to my dream occupation. I am an an Exadata consultant working on some of the most interesting projects and implementations. Thankfully Enkitec allows me time for researching new technologies (and to write about them). I am a keen speaker at community events and would be quite happy to receive invitations from Oracle usergroups all over the globe to share my experience and research results.
