Adrian Marriott is a Principal Consultant at Progress Software Inc.

Adrian has a BA in Philosophy from Warwick University and an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Programming from Souhtbank Polytechnic in London. He has 15 years industrial experience implementing large, fast, distributed, object-oriented systems using the C++, Java and LISP languages.

Since Feb 1997 Adrian has worked for Progress Software (formerly Object Design), specializing in the ObjectStore C++ database, and consulting to various blue chip companies in the Telco, Finance, Manufacturing, Government and Service Sectors; customers such as Orange, BT, CISCO, Alcatel, Swisscom, Deutsche Bahn, Misys, Reuters and many major city banks including BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Nomura, and Banque de France.

Adrian works on-site with customers at all stages of their projects including; analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, performance tuning, maintenance and trouble-shooting. He was one of three system architects on a two year project at the Ordnance Survey to store the entire set of UK mapping data as a single, seamless, persistent object-graph, comprising some 1 billion C++ objects, and yielding near real-time query performance. Adrian was also the design lead for the backend OODB system that powers the Tour de France website, which supports real-time updates from various TV and media sources, and regularly sustains around 6 billion page hits over the 25 days of the race, maintaining transactional consistency, and on modest hardware.

Adrian also runs training courses on OO Programming and the ObjectStore C++ database, for which he helps to prepare some of the material, and has lectured on OO databases at the British Computer Society.
