Database Architect by day, burgeois anarchist by night. Working with RDBMS since Sybase 4.x / "Ashton-Tate Microsoft" SQL Server, I have specified, designed, and built transactional databas systems for applications ranging from Wells-Fargo Foreign Exchange, BART Capital Projects Financing management, WorldComm call-center, Las Vegas slot-machines, and on-line jukebox application to list-processing AI recommendation systems.

Lately focused on MySQL variants performance and scalability, I have been working on MySQL Fabric for the past 6 months, creating Fabric-managed sharded databases for OLAP applications on the bleeding edge.
