Hi, I am a consultant, advisor, entrepreneur and a long-time computer performance geek. I’m interested in the inner workings of complex systems and especially how all the pieces work together. That helps me to build and fix enterprise data systems with less of trial and error and more of systematic approach.

29 years ago, I started as a part-time C developer and then moved to Unix, Linux, Oracle RDBMS and various Big Data processing tools on-premises and in the cloud - I can navigate the entire stack. I occasionally consult, speak and deliver my performance tuning and troubleshooting training courses too. Over the years I have helped enterprise customers in about 25 countries on all continents except Antarctica.

In addition to my technical research, consulting & training work I talk (and learn) at conferences too.
