About
This is the family history blog of Michael McLaughlin. If you’re looking for my technical blog you’re in the wrong place. I’m also working on tutorials for database technology, these will change over time but they’re found here.
While I’ve written technology books and articles, this writing is dedicated to my family and faith. I have very personal and deeply held personal beliefs but I also adhere to my church’s eleventh article of faith: “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”
I teach database technology and systems analysis in the Computer Information Technology Department at BYU – Idaho. I worked at Oracle Corporation for over eight years in consulting, development, and support. I’m the inventor of the ATOMS transaction architecture (U.S. Patents #7,206,805 and #7,290,056). The patents are assigned to Oracle Corporation.
You can find my full profie on Linkedin. Unlike Steven, I still have my hair. Albeit, it’s a different color. As to what I looked like when starting my career, here’s the requested photo. I was a management trainee when it was taken after my undergraduate work, three years of military service in the Army, and an LDS mission in Italy.
