As a young padwan, Dimitri was triggered into IT by an early adoption in BASIC, DOS, the early windows era, and early Linux adoption. This made him aware of the numerous pitfalls, challenges and actual fun of working in IT. In his career, Dim0 has worked for emerging technology organisations and has been active in Open Source Software consulting. Since 2013, Dim0 is a Solution Engineer at Percona and has helped numerous organisations in adopting Open Source database technologies.
“Because of the size and complexity of our infrastructure, I was growing increasingly concerned about the future reliability and stability of our database.

Percona also provides a better service and better SLA at a lower cost than our current contract, while also eliminating vendor lock-in.”
