Robert Bernier

Robert's first working computer was the very user-friendly IBM 360 with an awesome 4MB RAM. After a round of much needed therapy overcoming the trauma of programming with punch cards he discovered the IBM-XT and the miracle of DOS 2.0. Years later, Robert became enamored with Linux and the opensource world and after meeting one of the members of CORE his primary focus had become all things PostgreSQL. Robert has since then worked in mom and pop companies, fortune 50 corporations and a number of very cool environments including the famed Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic age. Although reluctant to leave the enjoyable experience of California's Silicon Valley commuter life, he returned to the Pacific Northwest and once again experienced real weather. These days, he serves as the PostgreSQL Consultant here at Percona.
