Having done an engineering degree, technology has always been my passion. I have had a deeply satisfying career spanning 20+ years working on different versions of Microsoft SQL Server/Azure SQL DB. In the year 2017, I joined Microsoft and currently work as Cloud Solution Architect and help my customers cruising through their digital transformation journeys. I started my career as a SQL developer and then became a SQL Server development DBA before moving to a Data Architect/Solution Architect role. I am extremely passionate about SQL Server and now Azure SQL DB and let me confess, my excitement for Azure SQL Managed Instance has gone to the point of obsession.
