Arjen Lentz

Open Query

Arjen initially started with programming, but has since branched out to other stuff that blends geekness with more human interaction.

Arjen was employee #25 at MySQL AB (2001-2007), dealing with Documentation, Community Relations, Training, Support, licensing, and acting as program chair for the 2005 and 2006 MySQL Users Conferences. He also co-authored the 2nd edition of O’Reilly’s popular “High Performance MySQL” book.

After taking time off in mid 2007 Arjen founded Open Query, delivering affordable remote and on-site MySQL consulting, as well as MySQL training days.

Outside work Arjen dabbles in organic gardening and explores the RepRap.
