I started my career in IT as a System Admin of a network of SCO (Santa Cruz Operations) Unix and Xenix Servers. 

Later on, I joined the tech support team, providing L1 and L2 support assistance to SCO Unix and Xenix users and business partners, and there I got my first certification: SCO Advanced Certified Engineer, or SCO ACE for short. That was in 1993. 

In early 1996, I joined Informix Software, where I dealt with the object database Illustra and the traditional Informix RDBMS. Illustra was the first database I worked with that could perform image searches.  Illustra had a concept of DataBlades, where the engine could be extended to handle new datatypes, beyond characters and numbers. 

In late 1997, I joined IBM, where I performed a lot of different jobs:

• Sales Support Specialist for Tivoli Software
• IT Specialist in System Management 
• Linux Integration Center Evangelist
• IT Specialist in Network Management
• IT Architect for System Management 
• IT Specialist in Hybrid Cloud Software
• IT Architect in Hybrid Cloud Software

To name just a few of the positions I had in almost 23 years at IBM. 

And finally, I joined InterSystems in 2021, during the pandemic, as a Sales Engineer. 

I have experience in various industries, including retail, Government, Finance, and Insurance.
