Tim Fox has been using Oracle since version 5 in 1989. At that time, the Oracle Forms version was 1.x and procedural code had not yet arrived. Since that time, Tim has been constantly involved in projects where some version of an Oracle database or development tool was being used. Tim has worked in corporate IT for the State of Indiana and The Associates, spent ten years as a manager at Anderson Consulting/Accenture, and is currently the Director of Development at Enkitec, a Dallas-based Oracle services provider. While at Enkitec, Tim has been an instrumental figure in development projects across dozens of companies and has greatly assisted in the uptake of Oracle Application Express. As a result, Time is a frequent contributor to the Dallas Oracle User Group (DOUG), Oracle-sponsored Tech Days, and other regional user groups and conferences. In 2010, Tim became heavy involved in implementation and training related to Oracle’s Exadata database machine. Given his background in APED development and his access to Enkitec’s Exadata machine, he has APEX 4 running directly on Exadata.
