About

Technology Architect, Data & Analytics. WebFOCUS architecture and iWay tools.

I have been in IT for over 18 years, mainly Business Intelligence Analysis, Database Design, Datawarehousing, ETL and my main speciality WebFOCUS BI Reporting. I also have done Unix/Linux platform work, specializing in OpenSource middleware and have been a Java Platform Manager (And no, I am not a Java developer, I design and maintain the environments that run the code).

I have a wide level of experience in WebFOCUS from coding the actual FOCUS language to designing dashboards/portals, and I am well versed in the installation and configuration of the WebFOCUS tools, database adapters, as well as server management and fine-tuning the reporting environments. I have also tutored developers new to WebFOCUS and iWay tools.
