About the author

The application of technology in my professional life is informed by the use of architectural practices – such perspectives help to ensure that, particularly on large transformational initiatives, you can trace the business needs and decisions through to specific technical decisions. This isn’t documentation for the sake of it, but enough to communicate well-thought-out strategies to enable effective communication and continuity of understanding within an organization. But to be a technical architect means you need to be able to get your hands dirty and be able to create proof of concepts and understand the practicalities of implementing a technical strategy.

The value is in knowledge, but that value is only realized when you enable others by sharing it. This leads me elegantly to why I have (co)authored several books and written a book solo, not to mention written articles for journals, blogged and presented.

Getting out and presenting is a great way not only to share but also to learn. The more situations you discover, the more ideas can be adapted to be reusable and, therefore, worth sharing. I am active with the UK Oracle User Group – working as the Dev & Middleware stream lead, helping in a variety of different ways, from planning events and sourcing submissions to reviewing articles for the journal.

This emphasis on enabling others with an Oracle focus has led to my being recognized as an Oracle Ace Director, which I have now stepped down from as I have since joined Oracle.

I’ve been fortunate to work for a variety of organizations, global IT consumers/customers, System Integrators (SI)/consultancies – both niche and large, Independent Software Vendors, and technology manufacturing. This has meant I’ve gained a broad and diverse set of perspectives.
