This is the first post on my sort-of technology blog.  I am a Data Architect, with a background in object-oriented programming and database applications.  I have also spent a lot of time writing networking applications in Java and C++ (the latter mostly in another life).

I currently own several open source projects on BitBucket - feel free to hop over there and use what interests you.

My big project is etl-unit, a framework similar to junit but specifically targetted at testing ETL code in unfriendly (read closed and heavily proprietary) systems like Informatica, SSIS, Oracle PL/SQL, SQL Server, etc.  These systems have interfaces available, but very little standardized with the exception of basic JDBC-type operations.  Etl-unit seeks to make this work in a reliable, repeatable manner, and one that enables ETL teams to be effective.

I will probably post more about this and other things.
