Philipp Salvisberg is the owner of Grisselbav GmbH<\/a> and an Oracle ACE Pro. He has been focusing on Oracle database-based solutions since 1988. At that time with Oracle Database version 5. Since then, he has been helping customers design, build and optimize their database-centric solutions, teaching application development topics or speaking at conferences. Software quality and automation are of great importance in this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philipp has a soft spot for doing as much as possible in a single SQL statement and is interested in pretty much everything to use the database as efficiently as possible. He likes to design model-driven software solutions using domain-specific languages while getting the most out of the underlying technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philipp lives in Winterthur, Switzerland with his wife Karin and their lovely Eurasier Aramis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
