I founded the company, Pyalla Technologies, LLC and am actively engaged in contract writing assignments, and I have joined the board of newly-formed start-up, Infrasoft Pty Limited.

I have been in the IT industry for forty years and have remained close to the data center – having worked for Nixdorf, Tandem, InSession, and ACI. Most recently, I was part of the GoldenGate Software organization.

I have enjoyed a long association with User Groups dating back to the late 70s. I am particularly passionate about the grass-roots activities of communities and have enjoyed working with regional groups in many countries. I spent 7 years as a Director on the board of ITUG and served as its Chairman for 2 years (2004 - 2005). And I spent another two years on the board of SHARE, the IBM mainframe user group I am active in a number of social networks as well as a frequent visitor of virtual communities.

My Hobbies

My main interests center around cars and I track my car regularly in Colorado and California.
