About

I am Gerwin Hendriksen from Holland, 36 years old and through the years I have specialized in all kind of performance issues and high availability. I have started to work at Dedicate (later Parity Solutions) in Holland and after that I joined Oracle. After my 5 years at Oracle I joined IBM. After this period I started to work for AMIS for 3 years, now I am employed by IT-eye.

In my work career I worked much with Oracle E-Business Suite, BI reporting and capacity planning for big systems. A lot in the light of performance and high availability. Since a short while I am looking into database statistics a lot. Also applications like JD-Edwards and SAP have become more known to me, allthough I have still to learn much in these areas.

March 2008 I introduced at the HOTSOS sysmposium a new performance methodology called “GAPP”. This method is using a kind of data mining technology, which makes it possible to find performance bottlenecks in very complex architectures without actually tracing any part of the infrastructure. The results are very reliable and have been proven in practical situations. Currently I am working on a white paper I hope to publish in a short while.
