"I was born in Hamburg, Germany. Now I live in Frisco, Texas, USA. I work at Take2 Consulting, LLC (Take2 IT - Progressive Minds / Creative Solutions) as Integration Engineer as contractor for Department of Veterans Affairs.

I worked with InterSystems technologies since 2001. I started learning Cache Objects, Cache Server Pages, and Cache Object Script. In 2018 I had an opportunity to work on Health Connect. The first project I worked on was ingesting claims files and inserting data into Oracle database tables. Lately I have been working in AWS redesigning a different Health Connect solution to run in containers working with Elastic Container Service and lately specifically Fargate.

I became a grandfather last year. I enjoy my work, listening to music, as well as watching soccer games".

About @YURI MARX GOMES

Yuri is the Winner with 13 new posts🤩, 11 comments, 2 new applications on Open Exchange, and great activity on Global Masters.

Thank you for your awesome contribution, Yuri!

Yuri is a Software Architect, YM Services.

Yuri’s been working in IT for 22 years, 4 years with InterSystems technology. Key areas of expertise: InterSystems IRIS, Software Architecture, SOA, BPM, Java, REST API, Frontend and Backend development and Data Privacy.

And here are some words from Yuri himself:

"I have 26 technical certifications (Java, SOA School, Oracle, IBM, OMG, DPO, ITIL, COBIT) and now I’m studying to get IRIS certification.

In 2018, I founded two startups, IA Solutions and Visum Consult. First, has a product named ShelockIA, working with facial recognition and machine learning to promote smart cities to the public sector and commercial intelligence to the private sector (working to embed IntegratedML).

Last, Visum Consult has a product called DPO Center to manage data privacy programs into LGPD/GDPR initiatives (IRIS used here).

My products are developed using the same InterSystems IRIS best practices: open patterns and architecture, end-to-end with multimodel database, BI, AI, ESB and great frontend/backend building blocks.

In my personal company, YM Services, I am Senior Software Architect Advisor to Engie and Banpara.

The photo above was taken in 2018 when I started to work with IRIS and visited InterSystems HQ. Carlos Nogueira and Alexandre Tunes (ISC Head Brazil) introduced me to @Evgeny Shvarov, but my limited English did not allow me to enjoy the opportunity. Now with DC, I’m sure that I will enjoy it, and making great friends, and learn a lot".
