Being in IT business as a specialist for Linux, Martin Klier has been involved in the administration of Oracle Databases for about twenty years now. The integration of large Oracle-based high-availability solutions (MAA) with RAC and Data Guard were the first challenges. In the last years, he largely moved into performance analysis and tuning of complex systems with dynamically changing load profiles.
Skeptical needs assessments, thorough architecture planning, decent system sizing, critical benchmarking and experienced load-focused system analysis are Martin’s formula to success in avoiding production downtime.
For years now, Martin can be found speaking on topics regarding “Oracle Core, Performance and High Availability” on various national and international conferences, like COLLABROATE (IOUG), Oracle Cloud World, UTOUG, ECO, POUG or DOAG Konferenz.
Martin frequently blogs about recent issues and their solutions at http://www.usn-it.de and is known on BlueSky as @MartinKlierDBA.
Martin works a lot for the community, especially for the German Oracle Database Community “ora2know”, the Linux User Group Mitterteich, is an Oracle ACE Director (Database) and proud member of Symposium42.

Hi, I'm Boris. I’ve been passionate about software engineering for over 17 years. Throughout my career, my path has taken me across diverse domains: from building widely used mobile applications to working closely with embedded systems and advanced automotive technologies. Today, I'm based in Munich, working as a Technical Lead and Senior Software Engineer at Mapbox, where I architect complex navigation solutions for leading global car manufacturers.

My professional journey is driven by the challenge of bridging the gap between raw hardware signals and seamless user experiences. A significant milestone for me was my time at Jaguar Land Rover, where I served as the Lead Mobile Developer for their vehicle remote control platform. I also spent time pushing the boundaries of mobile tech as a core engineer on the Mapbox Vision SDK, developing real-time computer vision systems for edge computing—a project recognized for its technical excellence by the Qualcomm Developer Network. While my past projects heavily involved machine learning and computer vision, my core focus today lies in conquering the architectural challenges of Android Automotive OS (AAOS).

My technical foundation is rooted in a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics and Informatics. In my day-to-day practice, I leverage Kotlin, C++, and robust Android architectures to build high-performance, hardware-integrated systems. Ultimately, I believe that truly great automotive products are born when we translate noisy, complex vehicle data into a reliable and inspiring experience for the person behind the wheel.

Hi, I’m Soumen Pal 👨‍💻
I don’t just ship apps — I design systems that hold up in the real world.

I’m obsessed with the hard edges of mobile: 🔋 BLE that reconnects when the field gets messy
🧩 KMP that shares what matters — without fighting the platform
⚡ Background work that respects battery, network, and the user’s time

Great apps aren’t just shared code — they feel reliable.
That’s the bar I aim for every time I ship Kotlin Multiplatform in production.
