Hot Tech: Code Search (LinkedIn Event 02-01-23)
Leading up to the year 2000 ERPs were the big hit. Then came big data and now with everyone going digital we’re in the era of big code.

Hot Tech: Graph Databases explained (LinkedIn Event 09-28-22)
Graph databases are purpose-built to store and navigate relationships. A graph database stores nodes and relationships instead of tables, or documents.

Developing a data warehousing strategy (Camp IT 06-23-22 Event)
Thank you Camp IT for inviting me to talk about developing a datawarehousing strategy. With DWaaS now readily available to everyone the possibilities to create an effective and efficient data strategy is easier than ever. Let me share my experiences as an IT executive and former Chief Architect at fortune 100 companies. I recorded this session after the event as they do not allow live recording. Makes sense as Camp IT wants dialog in their workshops and recording often prevents people from openly sharing their experiences.

Taking the trash out for IT is harder than one might think. There never seems to be a business case to justify getting rid of old stuff or bringing old stuff up to date. Let me show you a simple technique on how to eliminate technical debt without breaking the bank.
