Anthony Carrabino Biography

President/CEO from 2000-2007 and from 2010 to Present.
Co-founded Vista Software in 1999 with Loren Scott. Med Shakeri joined as CTO
in 2000. |

Created VistaDB as the world's first fully managed and
typesafe database engine for Microsoft .NET, Mono and Compact
Framework. |
 |
Designed and developed VistaDB 3.0 using fully managed
and typesafe C#. VistaDB 3.0 was the world's first fully managed database
engine that let software developers build fully managed and type-safe database
applications for Microsoft .NET, Mono and the Compact Framework.

Created VistaDB 2.0 database engine and VistaDB 2.0
Server using Delphi.
In 2004, Apollo 7.0 was slated to be the successor to
Apollo 6.x that included a new proprietary database format. A private build of
Apollo 7 was released that supported both Xbase files and this new database
format. The new database format provided so many advantages over Xbase that we
decided to drop Xbase support from this new engine entire and focus exclusively
on supporting this new database format. With that, we named the release to
VistaDB 2.0 instead of Apollo which is why there was never a 1.0 version of
VistaDB. Apollo 7 was released in 2009 as an update to Apollo 6.
