Kimberly has over 18 years working on various database platforms primarily with Oracle databases and associated products (RAC, Enterprise Manager, Exadata, GoldenGate). She has worked at ObjectRocket by Rackspace for the last 2 years supporting the MongoDB NoSQL practice area helping customers large and small with their MongoDB implementations and problems.
Before that she worked on databases and apps for an early online auto auction site, re-architected multiple enterprise infrastructure environments to Linux, deployed RAC (early and later versions), and worked closely with linux and storage admins for mass builds and deployments of RAC parameters across 1000's of linux servers. One notable fun project was re-engineering the database and storage infrastructure 6 months before launch for SWTOR- Star Wars The Old Republic MMO game. In her sparsely indexed spare time she enjoys wine, food, and embracing a variety of knowledge from all sources - currently involving Hadoop Spark, and its peripherals.
