Ernie joined Percona in April of 2012 as a Senior Consultant, bringing many years of diverse experience as a systems architect and engineer in both independent consulting and standard-employee roles. He has worked in almost every technology role present in the Internet era, from Perl/Java developer to Linux sysadmin, MySQL DBA to Cisco network engineer, security auditor to IT engineering manager. He thrives on and excels at taking on those novel challenges which require creative cross-disciplinary solutions.
