My Resume

Raymond Sowden
Technologist

 

My roles as solutions architect, coder, maker and technology enthusiast overlap each other, here on my web log / resume, as I have a little fun playing with some of the technologies I am passionate about 🙂

 

With over 20 of experience in JD Edwards CNC, I have consistently delivered robust, reliable, and scalable systems, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs for my clients. My proficiency in database administration includes expertise in Oracle, SQL Server, and other leading database platforms. My technical acumen extends to solution architecture, where I have designed and implemented cutting-edge IT strategies that align with business goals.

 

Also an avid enthusiast of plants, and planted fishtanks, I have traversed the globe in pursuit of cultural and botanical experiences. I am always excited to nurture a wide variety of new plants, reflecting my commitment to precision and care, traits that seamlessly carry over into my professional life.

 

My unique combination of technical expertise, love for horticulture, and global experiences makes me a well-rounded professional who can bring a fresh perspective to any organization.
