I'm working with DB2 and DB2 based solutions starting from 1996.

I have deep knowledge in the Relational Model and large practice of working with structured and semi-structured data as well as large practice of design and development of business critical database applications.

I already have real hands on experience in generally all DB2 related technologies and most advanced DB2 features like integrated columnar storage engine (BLU Acceleration), PureScale configuration, DPF feature and others.

I'm integrate skills of the developer and Enterprise DBA, so I have large practice of troubleshooting and tuning performance.
