Benjamin is a member of the LzRelational development team at LzLabs. LzRelational is the RDBMS for the Software Defined Mainframe, backed by the open-source PostgreSQL engine, providing legacy compatible data access and utility services to local and remote data. Over the past 5 years he worked on SQL parsing and transformation, implemented legacy data types, functions and highly efficient arithmetic operations on those data types, distributed stored procedure execution infrastructure, and some legacy compatible monitoring solutions. Personally he can be blamed for two-phase commit facilitation of temporary tables and picosecond precision timestamp generation with PostgreSQL.Before that, Benjamin was a member of the DB2 LUW Kernel Development team at the IBM Toronto Lab. For five years he has mainly worked on several enhancements for DB2 pureScale, including the design and development of the cluster caching facility (CF) self-tuning memory feature. Other projects have included enhancements to the DB2 pureScale high-availability infrastructure, recovery orchestration, cluster management and cluster filesystem replication. He has also worked on hardware exploitation projects like DB2 BLU Acceleration with GPUs.
Listed skills include Linux, Software Development, Db2, Unix, and 12 others.
