Session: TBD

I work in Percona as Principal Support Engineer for MySQL, its forks and utilities.

Before I worked in Bugs Analysis MySQL Support Group since year 2006 in MySQL AB, then Sun, then Oracle. In addition to regular daily tasks of solving tricky support issues and verifying bug reports I also work on bugs priority, closely work with MySQL Enterprise Backup Development Team, manage MySQL Support team hardware and program JSON UDFs. Working on bugs priority and as Support representative in MySQL Enterprise Backup Development Team requires good communication, diplomatic skills as well as great problem solving abilities.

I worked with Oracle University on MySQL 5.6 certification, provided “MySQL Troubleshooting” and “Troubleshooting MySQL performance” trainings both online and offline before class of 30+ attendees. I regularly speak at conferences. Check http://www.slideshare.net/SvetaSmirnova/ for slides. I am author of book “MySQL Troubleshooting” and technical reviewer of several books and trainings.

Before joining MySQL I worked as a programmer on different closed-source CRM systems. I have experience with software design (CRM systems, MySQL JSON functions); programming (PHP, C, C++, Java, Perl, Python); database design, administration and programming (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle); system administration (different UNIX operating systems, shell scripts, compilation tools)

Specialties: My main specialty is MySQL administration, backup, troubleshooting, bugs, gotchas, solving tricky issues, database design and programming. I also program using C, C++ (JSON functions, tests for libmysql and Connectors bug reports), PHP, Perl, Java, Python, Lua (mostly for tests for different bug reports), BASH (administration scripts and tests).
