My First Year as an Oracle ACE

On January 22th, 2014, for my absolute joy, I was nominated as an Oracle ACE and throughout this entire year, I tried to do my best in honoring this great recognition.

Counting Oracle's events alone, I have traveled near 180.000KM and spent approximately a striking amount of 205 hours on airplanes. That's plenty to go around the world 4.5 times!
