I have been working with databases for more than 18 years, started with SQL Server 2000 and MySQL. Nowadays, my experience is much broader to various other technologies, both relational and NoSQL databases, different programming languages, etc. I'm focusing on designing and developing data intensive services and products, processing terabytes of data each day, high availability and disaster recovery solutions, troubleshooting and performance tuning. I’m a regular speaker at various user group meetings, Data Saturday events and other conferences. An owner of prestigious MCM certification on SQL Server and Microsoft MVP award on Data Platform.
