I've been a developer and/or admin for over thirty years, working with Oracle for the majority of that time. My main responsibilities are coding, tuning, and mentoring other developers and DBAs in how to best utilize their Oracle databases. I enjoy testing new features and explaining them to others. I started presenting at conferences like Collaborate and KScope in 2009. I began blogging about Oracle in 2011. I've been answering questions about Oracle on Experts-Exchange since 2007 and became a Zone/Topic Advisor in 2009.
