Grapevine, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCary Millsap is a veteran software performance specialist and founder who has spent decades helping organizations make systems measurably faster, from solo consulting stints at Oracle to building Method R into a product and education company. He rose at Oracle from field consultant to VP leading ~100 consultants, created widely adopted standards like OFA, and later founded Method R to commercialize high-precision timing and trace-analysis tools for Oracle environments. An award-winning trainer, prolific author (four books including practical guides to tracing and response-time thinking), and frequent international speaker, he blends deep technical measurement expertise with memorable storytelling. Cary also led product and AI-collaboration initiatives at Oracle recently, applying tracing and telemetry to next-generation database observability. He favors small, formidable teams and tooling designed for the job, and maintains a vast professional network that accelerates problem resolution for clients. Less obvious: his approach treats writing as a tool for thinking, so his books and courses are as much workshops in reasoning about performance as they are technical manuals.
