Instructor

Tanel Poder

I am a consultant, speaker, trainer and a long-time computer performance geek. I have helped enterprise customers in 25+ countries on 5 continents.

I am one of the first Oracle Certified Masters in the world (2002), served as an Oracle ACE Director for years and have received speaking and writing awards. I am also a co-author of the Expert Oracle Exadata book and have 2 patents in the data virtualization space.

My training style is unique, systematic and always very hands-on, with the ability to decompose problems spanning multiple technology layers into smaller pieces and "attack" them individually.
