I have many years of experience working with data and was working with ‘Big Data’ before the term came into popular use. I also have extensive experience with high volume/low latency OLTP systems. I have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to create productized data processing applications that customers are happy to buy. I am currently in charge of promoting new aspects of Volt’s technology, in a role which spans Sales, Marketing and Engineering. I have four patents in the areas of distributed databases and database backups.
