technology leader, trainer, architect & programmer

My 30+ years in multiple software development roles (programmer, data modeler, architect, trainer, PM, BA, manager & director) utilizing mainframe, client/server, distributed, web, e-commerce, & (big) data lake analytics technologies to develop internal applications & external products coupled with my hands-on "player/coach" leadership style has prepared for me for challenges in the daily stand-up, the executive boardroom, and everything in between.

What I'm doing...What's next...
After nearly a decade evangelizing & advocating Apache Hadoop, Hive, Spark, NiFi, Kafka, Flink and related open-source big data technologies as a trainer & consultant with Cloudera (originally Hortonworks), I've joined the Starburst team at the beginning of 2022 to do it all over again. This time with products built on top of open-source Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) that provide the analytics engine for the modern data lake.A technology leadership tour of duty with an organization who can benefit from my generalizing specialists perspective and my sound leadership principles and experience.

This Confluence space is where the majority of my own content posted to the web is housed.  The wiki (see Pages in the left nav) itself is still storming & norming, but my Professional Blog is relatively active with its focus on big data technology topics.
