A 20-year veteran of the database industry, Nat leads the software development and engineering efforts for Skytide. In 1996, Nat co-founded Cloudscape, developer of the first Java ORDBMS, which was later acquired by Informix Software, and in turn acquired by IBM. At Cloudscape, Nat defined the architecture and implemented most of the storage system of the Cloudscape DBMS, the technology now provided by IBM as open source though the Apache Derby project. Prior to Cloudscape, Nat led development projects at Sybase, Oracle, and Sequent. At Sybase, he defined the symmetric multiprocessing architecture (SMP) for Sybase SQL Server, and wrote a large section of the kernel and access level code for SMP support. Nat holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Princeton University. |
