Christian Antognini is a strong believer that at the core it is all about the data, and on how effectively companies process and take advantage of it. For that reason, since 1995 he has focused on the efficient use of database engines. His main interests include logical and physical database design, query optimizers, and basically everything else related to data processing and application performance management. He is currently working as a senior principal consultant and trainer at Trivadis in Zürich, Switzerland.
If Christian is not helping one of his customers get the most out of databases, he is somewhere lecturing on application performance management or database performance features. In addition to classes and seminars organized by Trivadis, since 2001 he has presented at 100+ conferences and user-group meetings in two dozen countries. He is a proud member of the OakTable Network and is an Oracle ACE Director. Christian is the author of Troubleshooting Oracle Performance (Apress, 2008/2014) and the co-author of Der Oracle DBA (Hanser, 2011/2016).
Christian lives in Ticino, Switzerland, with his wife, Michelle, and their two children, Sofia and Elia. He spends a great deal of his spare time with his wonderful family and, whenever possible, reading books, watching or playing tennis, enjoying a good movie, riding one of his bicycles or gliding down the Swiss alps on a snowboard.
