Though I have over two decades of broad technical experience - most of it developing for and supporting the Microsoft platform - my focus has narrowed to Transact-SQL, C#, and the .NET Framework in recent years. My understanding of SQL Server is exceptional for a developer, and my command of C# and .NET distinguishes me from nearly all DBA's. I am at my best when addressing the performance and reliability of data-centric applications that rely on SQL Server for their relational data, and thoroughly enjoy solving the problems that come with applications whose scale has outpaced their original designs.
