America’s Cup Boat Installation Time Lapse Video
On Friday I realized the America’s Cup yacht was going to be installed at Oracle HQ over the weekend so I went home and got my GoPro camera and set it up to take a picture every 30 seconds. For some reason it shut off on Saturday morning, when the helicopter brought the hull over the building, but I still think the footage came out pretty well. Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments below.

I'm Senior Director in the Oracle Research and Development Organization, with close to 20 years working in various roles on the development of the Financial Management product suite. Since the summer of 2016 my focus is exclusively on working with customers and longer-term design work, particularly around next-generation functional and technical architecture. My task is to figure out NOW what the financial management system of the next 3, 5 or more years should look like and start working toward it. At the moment the majority of my time is spent working on Blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), leading the effort for all of SaaS applications. I'm also interested in AI, Machine Learning and new UX and interaction paradigms such as chat bots.
I started out in Oracle UK and found my way out to Oracle's Redwood Shores, California HQ in May 2000. My previous role was product owner for Fusion Accounting Hub, General Ledger, Intercompany and Legal Entity products in Oracle Fusion Financials and eBusiness Suite General Ledger. I have also worked on EMEA Globalizations, Federal and Public Sector Financials, XML Payments and a variety of projects on other products down the years.

I was pleased with it, given I am a total amateur and I only got the camera a few weeks ago it’s pretty amazing it came out so well.

GoPro is very easy to use. The menu system is a little unintuitive, but the main business of taking great video with minimal effort they have nailed.
