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, Tim 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 heavily involved in implementation and training related to Oracle's Exadata database machine. Given his background in APEX development and his access to Enkitec's Exadata machine, he has APEX 4 running directly on Exadata.
