 | COMMUNITY PROFILE |
|  | Arturo Viveros It has been a busy couple of months for Oracle ACE Arturo Viveros. A SOA and middleware specialist, he started a new job with SYSCO AS, moved from Mexico City to Oslo, Norway, and just recently transitioned from Oracle ACE Associate to Oracle ACE. Yet he still manages to stay engaged with the community as part of the SOA Mythbusters blogging team (with colleague and fellow Oracle ACE Rolando Carrascoz), and recently published two articles on OTN, Oracle Cloud Integration (with Oracle ACE Director Joel Perez) and SOA Cloud Service in a Nutshell, (with the aforementioned Rolando Carrasco and ACE Associate Robert van Mölken). And that's just the short list. Apparently time management is another of his considerable skills. Wish the man luck! | |
