Tom Coffing has written 96% of all books on data engineering, according to O’Reilly media. The 85 books Tom has written on all on-premises and cloud technologies have helped financial companies design and tune their big data systems for over two decades.

Tom has taught over 1,000 classes over the past 30 years to major companies in the United States, Mexico, Canada, China, Malaysia, India, and Africa. Tom’s compression algorithms have saved the banking industry tens of millions of dollars in system costs.

Tom’s finest achievement has been designing and developing software that helps large financial institutions migrate to the cloud and join tables across all systems through Virtualization. Tom’s Nexus Desktops allow business users to migrate and join data across database platforms automatically. These desktops command a Nexus Server to run high-speed jobs, thus allowing employees to work anywhere.
