I enjoy building software systems that help other systems work with and communicate with each other. This includes spaces like MDM (Master Data Management), middleware, ETL, CUFX standard. etc.
I'm not a programmer, I'm an engineer who loves to design and engineer solutions to solve problems or create new capabilities. This often includes programming, which I enjoy.
I've worked with many programming languages and databases. I've written a compressed-data database that was faster than Oracle at doing large joins and used much less resources. Only got one patent on it though, because of patent rules (patent must be applied for before product has been used 6 months).
I love stomping out use of Informatica ETL by using simpler, faster methods.
