Greg's primary programming emphases are PostgreSQL and Perl, including melding the two with DBD::Pg and PL/Perl. He specializes in making web interfaces to database backends, and is currently using AJAX to further the capacities of JavaScript. He has a degree in microbiology, and previously did bioinformatics work for the National Human Genomics Research Institute, where he quickly learned how to deal with extremely large data sets. He has extensive experience with Oracle, Sybase, HTML/CSS, Linux, Solaris, and a number of other open source technologies. Since 2001, Greg is a "major developer" of the PostgreSQL project and is acting as technical consultant on two forthcoming books on Postgres.
