About me

May 2006 – today Ingres – Emerging Technologies Team

Working with community, partners and Ingres groups to ensure that they are successful with Ingres technology. This is a great team of people who are enthusiastic and dedicated to the Ingres cause and have no qualms about helping anyone. Recent projects in the group include:

  • Porting Ingres 2006 Release 2 for the Sony Playstation 3
  • Demonstrations and demonstration systems
  • Community Web site development and set-up

Nov. 2005 – Apr. 2006 Ingres – DBMS Core Development

Undertook various competitive product analysis and assisted in a number of research papers for future Ingres functionality. This work also includes the day-to-day bug fixing. I don’t know why but I tend to get the ones that happen on Microsoft platforms.
