Cloud Comedy, Cloud Tragedy

My name is William Vambenepe (@vambenepe on Twitter).

I work as architect for the application and middleware management part of Oracle Enterprise Manager. Topics that I commonly cover on this blog include application management, automation, protocols, modeling, BTM, standards, SOA, Cloud Computing (especially PaaS), Semantic Web and other Web technologies. In this entry I tried to explain the original tagline for this blog, “IT management in a changing IT world”.

Before coming to Oracle in 2007, I worked in HP’s software division for nine years, on a variety of products ranging from high resolution imaging (OpenPix) to middleware (e-speak, Bluestone, HP-AS) and, for the last five years, systems management. There, as a “distinguished technologist” in the BTO group (previously known as OpenView) I combined architectural and standard-related activities.

My work email address follows the firstname.lastname@oracle.com format. My personal email address is my first name @vambenepe.com. You can also call me (if you’re game for a small challenge).

I started this blog because I love to receive comment spam. I think it contains a form of popular art waiting to emerge. Also, I sometimes use irony.

And of course the views I express on this site are mine and not necessarily those of my employer.
