Welcome
I am starting this blog because I am hoping that I have finally found a media where I can just put down summaries of my experiences working as data architect for various Oracle projects, mainly in the financial world.
In my role working as Oracle data architect, I am finding it hard to find resources specific to data architecting related to various financial systems. How do I stop reinventing the wheels, how do I stop myself going down the wrong path while designing something, and realise the mistake only 6 months later when dealing will full size volume? And so on, and so on.
The other thing that I found interesting, is my role as an Oracle data architect and the interaction that comes with it with various development teams, rich with expertise in Java, XML, C#, PHP. I also have a lot of experience working with remote development teams, in Russia, India, China, Hong Kong. The diversity is not only technical, but also cultural. It is fun that we all have strong opinions how to best do things, and the challenge is to realise that different technology has different strength, and different role for different components in a solution.
I would like to try to use this media to write things that I encounter in my day-to-day work, and hopefully build some sort of a knowledge base that would be useful for my own use, and hopefully others too who find this website.
I am also hopeful that some experts out there would find this blog and start contributing and sharing their experiences.
Cheers
