Hello, my name is... | Introduce Yourself!

#Global Masters

Here’s a special thread where you can tell a bit about yourself — because connecting and learning more about each other is what makes this community great 💬✨

We had a similar discussion on our old Global Masters platform — you might remember! We’re excited to bring that networking opportunity back to the community.

💬 Here’s a simple format to help you get started:

  • Name
  • Where you’re from / based
  • What you do (your role / company / areas of interest)
  • Expertise – What are your key areas of expertise or main tech topics? How can you help other community members?
  • Fun Fact or Hobbies – Optional, but always fun to share!
  • LinkedIn – Optional, but very welcome!

💡 Also — if you’re attending READY 2025, let other Developer Community members know in the comments below! It’s a great way to connect in advance, meet new people, and find your conference crew.

🌟 Don’t forget: if you’re coming from Global Masters, your activity here also earns you bonus points. So post, react, comment — and grow your network! 🎉

Robert Cemper · May 28

Hello community;

  • My name is Robert C. Cemper, graduate engineer from Vienna Technical University
  • I'm Austrian, born and still living in Vienna for 77 years. I'm married once and have 3 aged children.
  • Over the years I worked with several big companies in the emerging IT market, like SIEMENS, Olivetti, Digital Equipment, Compaq, ... finally InterSystems. My special story with InterSystems is available in this article 45 Years with Intersystems
  • Actually I'm  "retired but not tired" and follow Developer Community with unbroken interest. Especially because I had a similar proposal 10 years before it finally materialized. My feelings for it are quite similar to a grandfather  
  • My special interests are the core functionalities of the Global Storage, ObjectScript and SQL
  • Working close to the internals is my core competence, but also all network stuff. Actually im focusing on  Docker in the OpenExchange environment. 
  • My top hobby are computers for about 60 years and my whole career was based on it. I started with a console panel with toggle switches for the address and some others for the content. One of my teachers built the first transistor based computer in Europe.  Other hobbies like music, theater, skiing, hiking, biking, travel to other countries changed importance over time. At my retirement I returned to University to catch up with progress in Physics, especially Quantum Physics, Cosmology, Paleology, ... I also added Latin to my set of 4 spoken + 2 written languages.
  • I stopped LinkedIn as I was spammed by unacceptable job offers.
  • Due to health and social limitations I will not attend  READY 2025

Kurro Lopez · May 28

Hi community:

  • My name is Francisco López, AKA Kurro López
  • I'm from Spain, born and living in Málaga (Andalusia) in southern Spain, close to Mediterranean Sea.
  • Working as project manager in Salutic Soluciones, SL. This company is dedicated to creating software for medical management and services for health insurance companies.
  • I have extensive programming experience in several languages, from Clipper 87 to C#, including Python, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic, and, of course, ObjectScript. I've spent a long career dedicated to programming and the technical and functional analysis of new processes. I love programming in IRIS because it gives me a lot of freedom when generating complex workflows that would be much slower to complete with other languages.
  • My main hobby is the mountains. I love long walks, hiking, and discovering new places. I used to do mountain running, but my knees aren't what they used to be.
  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franciscolopezdelasheras/
  • I won't be attending READY 2025 this year, but I have attended in previous years and it's a great experience that everyone should go to at least once.
