I have been with SAP since 1996 - staring initially with Powersoft, transitioning to Sybase, iAnywhere, Sybase, and then SAP by way of acquisitions. I worked in a variety of technical support roles with responsibility for PowerBuilder and SQL Anywhere until 2008. In 2008, I moved into a sustaining engineering role. Currently, my focus is HANA Data Lakehouse, IQ, and SQL Anywhere. Prior to 1996, I worked with a startup based in Toronto building frameworks and applications using Texas Instruments Information Engineering Facility(IEF) CASE development environment targeting 3270 'block mode' and GUI based Windows and OS/2.
