Ewan Slater

I started out as a research scientist and then drifted into IT.

These days I’m the Technical Director of Java & GraalVM product marketing at Oracle with over twenty years experience in the technology industry and a lot less hair.

I joined Oracle when they acquired Thor Technology in 2005. I intended to stay for six months and I’m still here.

I’m currently focused on helping Oracle’s customers and partners adopt a cloud native approach to Java development.

Outside of work I enjoy cycling, cooking and the countryside.

I contribute to a number of open source projects, a former organiser of the DevEast conference in the UK and a member of the Ipswich & Suffolk Technology Network (ISTN).
