About me
I graduated as an Archaeologist. Although ancient times still fascinate me, I got involved in IT and learned about databases, rexx and cobol.
In the past 20 years, I spent a lot of time being a Db2 for z/OS expert. I have been an IBM Champion for a few years and I presented on several occasions on IDUG.
Seven years ago, I decided to spread my wings beyond the IBM Db2 story and took interest in Cloud, Data and Information Architecture and Governance. During these past few years, I learned a lot on how things can, should or will work, but as well as common pitfalls that exist.
New data architectures tend to be complex and for that you need a strong foundation which IBM can offer with modern and open offerings. This is exactly why I returned to Infocura and Big Blue, where I am now building further on these capabilities as well as sharing them with my colleagues.
