I am an Oracle dba started in Oracle 9i. I am currently working as a Senior Oracle DBA at Exitas NV . Most of the time I work on short term projects which put me in touch with a lot of different aspects of the Oracle database, going from infrastructural point to complete designs and implementations, the result of this is a nice allround experience and a broad personal network. Currently the focus is on Exadata/ODA and virtualisation on exadata. Exadata experience starting from X2 to X7 including complete reinstallation?s and redesigns of the environment. My main focus is to help the customer to find the best solution fitting in his budget and offer the maximum out of it given restrictions. The bit of free time there is left, is mostly spent on being husband and a dad for my son. The time left I like to spend with sailing and playing the double bass, bass guitar and the saxophone.
