    Hi!

    This thread has been created to help us become a more connected community. We want you here, and we want everyone to know a little bit about each and every one of us. You don't have to be a DBA or CIO or CSO to have an important voice in our community. We want to hear from each and every one of you, whether you are a Delphix customer, a Delphix employee, a Delphix partner, a prospect doing research on database solutions, an open-source enthusiast looking for a new project, or just looking around-you are welcome here.

    Please introduce yourself using the response capability of this thread (click Reply over to the right) providing your name, a brief message about your experience (with databases, with development, with writing, with code, with Delphix, with whatever you'd like) and why you've joined and what you hope to find, engage in, or be a part of here.

     

    Thank you,

    The Community Team here at Delphix

    So, I thought I'd kick this off...

    I started my career in tech as an information developer many moons ago… and spent that time creating documentation, managing teams, and architecting new ways to get information in front of those that need or want it – at the point of pain. Sometime around 2006, the power and usefulness of community became central to my focus and the community voice (the engaged customer voice) became the one I wanted to amplify in my career. Since this epiphany, I have run successful communities from within engineering teams, marketing teams, partner teams, and customer success & education teams.

    Here at Delphix, I am a member of our education team, under the umbrella of customer success. It is a perfect home for community and knowledge base, as we grow and expand and explore ways and means to provide just-in-time knowledge when and where it is most needed.

    I enjoy being a part of and watching ideas come to fruition, watching people succeed, bringing people of like minds together both physically and virtually, and building altruistic, if competitive, communities of people looking to provide solutions to difficult problems in the fields of security, system management, and network/application/database management.

    I am super interested in knowing how you currently use and how you want to use our solution and seeing how you will expand and adapt the product to your needs from an open-source perspective.

    Feel free to reach out at any time,
    Michael

    I've worn several closely-related hats in my 20+ years in the IT industry, but the significant majority of time has been spent in Technical Support.  I have developed expertise in numerous Open Systems platforms, fibre channel networking, disk arrays, tape drive and library platforms, backup applications, hierarchical storage management and filesystems, as well as a brief stint on the administrative and storage architecture side of things, and now I'm enabling Delphix to provide an industry-leading Support experience and empower our #dataops users.

    Providing world-class Technical Support for multiple market leaders in my career, I've always had a passion for solving critical, complex issues for Fortune 500 customers, as well as developing technical training, knowledge base content, product documentation, and of course continuing to develop my skills every day. 

    I am pleased to be given the opportunity to serve and collaborate here in the new Community!​​​​​

    I'd like to RE-INTRODUCE myself!  I first introduced myself to the Delphix community back almost 5 years ago, and after four (4) busy years working at Microsoft as a cloud solutions architect specializing in migrating Oracle workloads from on-prem into Azure infrastructure, I'd like to re-join the Delphix community as an independent consultant.

    Anything involving Oracle, many things involving Azure infrastructure, and most especially anything involving running Oracle database workloads in Azure, I'm your huckleberry!  Even after four years of focused effort working in the field and with the Microsoft product groups, I certainly can't claim to know a great deal about Azure, mostly because it is is always evolving and improving, but I've worked with the best on the planet and we've pushed the envelope, and I look forward to continuing to do so here.

    Hello,

    I am from Accuras, a Delphix regional distributor located in Turkey.

    I have been working in IT for more than 20 years and currently leading our Presales and Deployment Team for new Delphix success stories in Turkey and MEA regions.

    We are mostly focusing on on-prem deployment since our customers are in Banking and Telco but I am hoping soon we will have chance to work some cloud opportunities as well.

    Hello Delphix Community,

    My name is Matt and I am the Principal Consultant and Trainer at Kuzo Data.  We're a Delphix partner specialising in technical delivery and instructor-led training for the DDP.

    As a DBA by trade, I've always had a keen interest in data related technology and over the last 20 years my role has morphed and twisted just as the industry has.  It's an exciting time, a challenging time, but ultimately a rewarding time to help customers achieve their data success.

    I am the author of blog The Data Lobby, which gives me a chance to share some insights of the Delphix DDP.  I'm looking forward to doing the same on the new community platform too.

    @Michael Torok the new community platform is looking great:)

    Greetings Delphix Community,

    I am John Creed working for UnitedHealth Group a Fortune 6 company in our Optum business within our Technology group supporting the UnitedHealthcare Community & State (aka Medicaid) line of business which is a $43B chunk of UHG's $226B annual revenue.

    The first 20 or so years of my career I was a hardcore tech guy working in a variety of rolls form help desk to developer to systems admin and of course my my favorite database administration.  I worked with Oracle 8 but became a Sr. DBA on the Oracle Rdb, fomerly DEC Rdb, database platform that Oracle acquired when DEC went belly up years ago. Knowing Oracle Rdb is how I landed a position at UHG.

    When I joined Optum Technology in 2006 I started out as a contract-to-hire DBA and I have had the pleasure of growing my career nearly as fast as the company has grown.  When I started UHG was Fortune 500 #37 and today it is #6 and the business I support generates as much revenue as the entire enterprise did when I joined 13 years ago!

    In my current role, I am Senior Director of Data Virtualization, and I am also the Vendor Relationship Owner (VRO) for UHG and Delphix.  I am in the process of migrating our dev/test databases from our core claims & membership system onto Delphix DRA servers using the high-speed Mellanox cards directly wired to a pair of Oracle/Linux servers.

    I hope to learn more about how others are using Delphix and to share what we have learned in return.

    I have about 30 years experience in IT, in a variety of industries and roles. I started as a developer in the financial industry, spent time in IT in manufacturing, then healthcare. In 2000 I was drawn to work at a security company in Customer Support, and I was hooked! I've worked at a variety of vendors, and have been at Delphix since October of 2016. 

    Support offers many rewards, because we are at the intersection where technical knowledge is used to solve our customers real world issues. All technical issues we face have an extra element of helping someone as they do their job. That makes the work very meaningful and rewarding. All of our staff are great to work with, and I feel grateful that I can lead my teams in APAC and the US. If anyone has any comments or questions about customer support, I'd love to hear them! 

    I had to check out the community because I am excited about our relaunch!

    Spent several years as a chief web design and localisation specialist working in Japanese mass media in Tokyo before tranisitioning to a role as a web application programmer and architect in Sapporo architecting educational software, social networking, voice analysis and threat detection and IVR protocols.

    Had a decade spent in the IT side of the financial services sector in Tokyo and Hong Kong, most of this at the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) working to provide technical support for SWIFT's network, protocols, and messaging applications to institutions across Asia Pacific and internally by developing a full suite of testing and reporting tools for analysing complex technical issues and building prototyped bulk financial test data for load testing of customer hardware and of SWIFTNet itself using current future messaging standards with support for stress testing the growing demands of sanctions screening of transactions. Protocols developed earlier in my career made their way into standard use for these internal systems. I was also a consultant for the Japan Central Securities Depository Centre during their roll out of SWIFT XML standards and was the service manager for the Bank of Korea.

    I've since moved on to more technical pastures and am currently a senior member of technical staff at Delphix, specialising is break-fix support for our database and storage virtualisation appliance. I love what I do.

    I'm currently based in Kawasaki, married with two kids.

    My first real-world IT project, 20 years ago, was a Microsoft Access database to help a local small business manage some of their records.

    I've had a number of roles since then - programmer, report writer, data manager, consultant, trainer, lecturer, technical salesman, business analyst, systems administrator and production DBA - but throughout I've had one finger on some code and the other arm firmly embedded into one database or another.

    I joined the Delphix Customer Support team in 2016, and am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to use skills from nearly all of these roles in helping our customers.

    I now specialise in SQL Server, though I'm comfortable working with most UNIX/Linux platforms and relational databases.

    Hi,

    I have almost 20 years of support experience in the IT industry, with nearly 4 years at Delphix as part of the Support team. I joined a large hardware and software vendor straight out of university where over time I supported everything from their hardware and storage platforms through to their UNIX operating system. My interests lay more with software than hardware and I transitioned to supporting the operating system internals. These skills have stood me in good stead at Delphix.

    Working in support, every day is different with plenty to learn and I am proud to be helping our customers as part of the team.

    I joined Delphix this past November. I am in the CTO's office and lead our Data Modernization and Strategy practice. Prior to Delphix, I was at IBM for 15 years. Of those, for 5 years I was IBM Global CTO for DevOps Adoption. In that role, I started the DevOps practice at IBM. I led the practice working with IBM's DevOps software offering (including UrbanCode) and Services offerings from GBS and GTS. During this time I published two books on DevOps - DevOps For Dummies, and the DevOps Adoption Playbook. DevOps Adoption Playbook won the DevOps book of the Year by devops.com in 2018. My last year at IBM I led the Global Cloud Architecture Practice where we provided guidance to IBM practitioners on architectural standards on deploying workloads to the Cloud (IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP). 

    At Delphix I continue my work, but now looking at DevOps and DataOps thru a data lens. I conduct Value Stream Mapping workshops with our clients to help determine how they can scale their DevOps and DataOps adoption.

    I blog at http://sdarchitect.blog and tweet as @sd_architect.

    Since elementary school I wanted to do something with computers, I studied Computer Engineering and discovered in consulting a spectacular world where technology can be used to simplify processes and help with business. I worked in multinational companies such as Sybase, SAP, ESET both in the technical and commercial areas.

    I am motivated to work with dbTrust (a SAP partner) because we bring technological innovation to our clients. From my position, I help technology areas produce value to the business with agility and without risks, creating environments for development, testing and QA that are very easy and comply with regulations such as GDPR, ISO 27001.

    When I'm not doing technology-related things, I help people with coaching or pranic healing and for my leisure time I play Bridge, paraglide or enjoy a horseback ride. I love learning and teaching!

    I'm happy to connect and explore the possibility of doing something together. You can write to me at sebastian.bonta@dbtrust.com.ar and I'm based in Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Hi all,

    I started my career as and Solaris admin and Informix dba at a system integrator 20 years ago.
    During this 20 year I technically focused on unix/linux and databases but I manage Microsoft teams, network&security teams, field services teams for lots of customers from various sectors.

    I worked at customer site for 4-5 years and in this period I worked with software teams, manage lots of SAP projects.

    Nowadays I am the CTO of DESistem which is one of the biggest system integrator in Turkey. My company has a good customer base with infrastructure projects, with my team we are adding digitalization and automation tools to our portfolio. We are also setting up managed services for our customers.

    I have worked in the tech industry for the last 6 years. In my previous role I worked for an ecommerce agency in various departments including development, customer support and project management. 

    I started with Delphix just over a year ago in the support organisation and have loved learning new skills in this role as well as using my existing knowledge. I'm looking forward to engaging with a few more of our customers, community members and champions over the coming years.

    Hi!

    I am the leader for the Delphix Global Presales organization, so I'm exposed to use cases, problems, solutions, business pain, and solution development almost all day long.  One of the skills I am always honing is the art of taking the complex and making it simple.  I've been here at Delphix 10 years, so I've seen almost every use case and many of the differing solutions we've put together for customers.


    I have a pretty steep background in Data, Data Strategy, and Data Theory, so I really enjoy stretching ideas about data and what Delphix can do for it.  

    In the past, I've worked on some AI projects in Expert Systems, Support Vector Machines, and Cellular Automata/Genetic Algorithms.  These days, I'm looking into how all of the cool AI toolsets can help customers really get value out of Delphix as we move into the Quantitative Developer economy.

    In the murky past, I worked at Oracle, L-3 (The defense Contractor), and AT&T Labs.

    Feel free to drop me a line anytime.  Always happy to help ;-)

    Hi Everyone,

    I lead the EMEA PreSales team, and have spent the last 25+ years working with Data.
    Interestingly 6 years ago I was managing the Data Services team at Fidelity International, where I came across Delphix and realised it could help me with a big problem I had at the time. I wrote the business case, got budget agreed, and then implemented Delphix.
    Now I love sharing my experiences and helping our customers understand how they can unleash the power in their data by utilising Delphix.
    Having seen how Delphix can directly help drive digital transformation at Fidelity, I'm passionate about sharing how this is easily achievable for our customers.

    I've worked on most Database platforms, including the mainframe during my career, and worked at many financial services companies, so please get in touch if I can be of assistance.

    Hey Folks!

    I'm Henry - Senior Solution Architect in the EMEA Presales team and I am not a DBA, CIO or CSO! However I do have hands on expeience with Delphix and a good understanding of CI/CD and Devops toolchains. Most comfortable with Jenkins and Ansible, but with a little experience in Chef too. In terms of coding, I have enough Python to get by for quick things, although in addition to that list of things, I'm not a developer! Looking to grab some experience in Java so I can get to grips with our awesome new Masking SDK, having seen some of the cool things my colleagues are doing with it, want to get it going myself!

    If you want to talk about Delphix, DevOps or your preferred method of smoking meats, give me a shout! Always interested to talk to other community members.

    Cheers - Henry

    Hello Community,

    I'm Scott, a presales Solutions Engineer at Delphix.  I've been involved with data management primarily in the United Kingdom for 23+ years.  My career started in IT services operations at Rover Cars including Land Rover as a Unix admin, helpdesk operative and "tape monkey" duties.  This was a springboard for the next 7 years working for specialist data management resellers, designing solutions and deploying market-leading data protection software and associated technology.  This was the door opener for my first startup & vendor, Data Domain, as a presales consultant (#3 SE in the UK).  Following the acquisition of DD to EMC and several years in the data protection division I spent some years with Actifio, Arcserve and Rubrik before joining the data revolution at Delphix in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic.

    I've worked across all verticals from public sector to financial, including a number of years working alongside teams on large projects at organisations such as Deutsche Bank & Lloyds Banking Group.  

    I'm passionate about helping organisations meet their digital transformation and cloud objectives by doing things smarter & faster with their data.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    I started out my IT career many moons ago as a tech support person working on an amazing piece of tech that was way ahead of it's time; a unix box with a graphical user interface it's amazing to see that I'm using exactly the same type of tech some 35 years later.....i.e. an Apple Mac Pro.

    I haven't worked so closely with data before but it's a very exiting place to be. 

    I think this community is extremely valuable both to itself and to Delphix. From providing real-world support and recognition of experts in the field to spreading the simple, warm feeling of belonging to something where people help people and at the same time show how great they are, how they've made progress with the product and how they've grown themselves.

    Great to be here.

    In the last years I worked for AppDynamics in the APM area and saw a lot of interesting customer use cases and recognized that data is a very important part of the RCA.
    That's also why I was curious to learn how Delphix can help customers to get a programmable data infrastructure to easily spin up a data pod for RCA to help the dev and test teams to fix the issue really fast.

    I have also worked for several german enterprise companies as load and performance test expert, so please get in touch if I can be of assistance.

    Hi,

    I've been working in IT for almost four years now. The first course that I ever attended was organized by Delphix in London. That's how my journey with Delphix began.

    Qentinel Finland is the Delphix reseller in Finland, and I have delivered our first masking implementation to a customer at banking industry in 2019. I still do masking in that project, but I'm eagerly waiting to getting some new customer projects with virtualization.

    You'd probably guess that I haven't just been waiting for these Delphix implementations, my main job is in test automation: automating test cases, building and maintaining test automation infrastructure for our customers.

    Hello Delphix Community Members,
    I hope you're having a great time in 2021!
    I'm super excited to work at Delphix and to introduce myself in this forum. I've been in IT for over 20+ years. The first 9 years of my career, I was in the Hospitality industry Software companies working as a Professional Services Consultant, Technical Support and hands-on development experience in COBOL, Foxpro, Visual Foxpro. Then I shifted to working in the Bank/Financial Services Industry for a couple of years, but the SaaS opportunity to work for a large technology company shifted my career ambition and passion for Customer Success and laser focussed on delivering outcomes and value to the customer's investment for the last 10 years. It is a big shift from a reactive to proactive mindset, and I thoroughly enjoy the challenges, rewards, and satisfaction from this role.
    At Delphix as a Customer Success Manager, my role will continue to deliver successful Onboarding, Adoption, Retention, Expansion, and Renewal in the APJ region. I'm impressed with the Delphix Solutions, world-class Customer Support Team and Technology savvy colleagues, and I look forward to meeting you in person in the future :).

    Hi Everyone,

    Rob Henning here and nice to be back to this community wearing a different hat.  I recently had the opportunity and humbled to have joined Delphix as a Sr. Solutions Engineer from a career as a DBA for 15 years as well as a Delphix Data Operator at my previous company.  I contributed to this community a few years ago with some code written around the Masking API's to automate RDS masking which was a huge success.  Looking forward to future contributions here and growing from one another with knowledge sharing.

    Hello Delphix!

    I've just joined this family two weeks ago. I will be working for the Presales organization as a Principal Solutions Engineer in Brazil. 

    Delphix was something that I've never heard before my interviewing process. I spent a lot of time reading and preparing myself for the interviews, and during this process I became a fan of this incredible Product & Company, which has a great value proposition and huge opportunities ahed!

    I have more than 20 years of experience in IT. Most of the time working with BMC Control-M in different roles. The last 7 years I worked at BMC as Support Engineer and Presales Solution Engineer.

    Now it's time to talk about Data! I'm very excited and happy to be here! I really believe that Delphix has incredible opportunities for Customers, Partners and Employees.

    Hope to learn and collaborate with this community!

    With over 24 years experience in technology I've spent 18+ of those years wearing many hats. I started teaching Microsoft certifications with NT 4.0 and decided I wanted to be hands on. I worked as a consultant, Sys Admin, Manager, IT Director. Then things got interesting. I wrote books, whitepaper, blogged spoke and even created internal training for Microsoft. The itch to do rather than teach brought me into the pre/post sales world where I worked as a Technical and Principal Architect for Microsoft Partners. Six and a half years ago I took a step in a new direction moving into the Datacenter Infrastructure space selling Nutanix HCI solution. It's been fun turning the industry on its head and changing the status quo on how we do things. 

    In my new role as a Sr. Solutions Engineer, I look forward to once again turning things on their head as we help customers transforming their Data  and Application Delivery

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Gustavo Gianini, a new hire SE and I'm from Brazil's capital: Brasília.

    Fun historical fact: Brasília was founded in 1950 and the president at the time was looking for a place far from the shore and in the middle of the desert for geopolitical reasons: the capital would not be so vulnerable in case of war, also popular pressure on the government would be reduced because of how far it would be from big cities like São Paulo and Rio.

    Brasília is a political centered city, so the main government bodies are here (by that introduction you may have already guessed that I'll be working mainly with gov accounts) 

    I graduated from the University of Brasilia in Network Engineering and I've been in pre-sales for the last 5 years. My last position was focused in DevOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, etc. at Red Hat where I worked with loads of government clients from 14 different Brazilian states. I have shallow technical work experience on enterprise databases so the training has been really helpful

    In my free time I love watching movies (big A24 fan, big Lars Von Trier fan), hanging out with my friends and my fiance (we are getting married in two months!), and I also play some online games and chess for fun.

    I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and sure we will achieve big goals together!

    Hi Everyone!

    My name is Delana Banks. I joined the Delphix team June 28, 2022. I was hired onto the Presales team as a Sr. Solutions Engineer under John Manzella. I've been an Oracle DBA for over 25+ years in IT. I immediately was excited to join Delphix because I really believe in the product and having been on the DBA side of provisioning test databases, I see the value that Delphix is a major innovative software that can benefit all companies!

    I am super excited to be working for such a talented company and I look forward to meeting everyone!

    Hello Everyone!

    So, I'm relatively new to TDM and DevOps but I've spent the last 20+ years in IT looking into, talking around and designing LAN, WAN, WLAN, Security, Application Delivery , SD-WAN and also dabbled in Unified Comms a while back. DevOps is the new frontier, ripe for rapid change and with huge impact to all businesses which is why I'm jumping in with both feet (as we'd say in the UK).

    It's never too late to learn and I'm super excited to go on that journey with you all!

    In general I'm keen to fix problems, enable understanding and above all to connect with people. I'm a lover of imagery and analogies and a firm believer that learning should be fun, full of colour and questions. My passion, aside from chocolate, is helping people to explore different perspectives and find solutions - ideally by using a pen and a whiteboard!

    All the best,

    Hello All,

    I have started as Customer Operations Director as of September in Accuras, a Delphix regional distributor located in Turkey

    With my experience of 22 years in IT , I am targeting to leverage the existing Customer's expectation and success . Also one of my target will be to create new use cases for our new Customers.

    I personaly believe a Sale starts before meeting the customer by understanding the needs of the Customers in global. I also believe experince sharing can resolve any problem,so with the help of the community I would definetly seek out who had what challenge and how it is resolved.

    I can't wait to grow with this creative team and try out new ideas.

    Feel free to contact me.
