Rui Carvalho

All my academic background was in program languages like C, C++, and C# but my professional path started in Business Intelligence where I developed a good relationship with Data. I started by building Reports and Tabular Models on PowerBI and then I gave my attention mainly to ETL processes, SQL Server technologies like SSIS and SSAS, and Azure. I love optimization, performance, and time management, so those are the soft skills that I´m currently improving. Recently I´ve found joy in helping and teaching others so I´ve started writing some blog posts on Medium about SQL (tips and daily challenges) and about time management, productivity, and things I´ve learned. Currently, my goal is to learn more and more and help people along the way.
