My name is Ryan Williams, welcome to my data terminal, a space dedicated to Oracle technology, Software Development, DevOps, DevSecOps, and Cybersecurity. My mission is to cut through the clutter of low-quality tech posts proliferating across the internet by offering nuanced, in-depth content that transitions smoothly from basic introductions to complex, production-level setups.
In a world where "ORA-WTF??? What That Function?" resonates with too many of us, I've taken it upon myself to document and share the quirks and qualms of Oracle technology—sometimes more effectively than Oracle does. While my blog thrives on educational and informational content, it's worth noting that the views expressed here are entirely my own and do not reflect those of any entity I have been or will be associated with.
My journey in tech started when I was young, playing around with computer games. This early interest grew into real expertise across many areas of technology. I started modding games since the first game I played on PC as a kid.
On a professional front, my experiences are broad and deep. I've navigated the complexities of Oracle Database, Oracle Apex, E-Business Suite, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Oracle Netsuite, along with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure, and Digital Ocean. My programming languages of choice—Java, Powershell, Python, and PL/SQL—reflect a versatile skill set honed over years of dedicated practice.
On the Cybersecurity side, I have been an early adopter of Zero Trust Architecture along with SMB experience as a cybersecurity consultant securing cloud and on-prem infrastructure. My background includes a BS in Computer Engineering Technology, and an MS in Cybersecurity and Informational Assurance.
Currently, my ambition stretches beyond the confines of technology itself; I'm passionately working towards integrating cybersecurity into SMBs, championing the belief that data is the new oil in today's digital economy. In this blog, I aim to share my knowledge and experiences and ignite a conversation about the importance of data security in the modern business landscape.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback.
