He started as a web developer using the Oracle database as no more than data storage. Richard has been responsible for major European multilingual websites and has been working with the Oracle database since 2000. During those years, he developed himself using a multitude of technologies and specialized in PL/SQL and Oracle APEX.

Richard has been working primarily with PL/SQL and APEX since 2005. With APEX, he combines the things he loves most: the Oracle database and web technologies.

Richard was awarded an Oracle ACE title in 2015 and an Oracle ACE Director award in 2023.
