Simon Reason

I have worked with databases (primarily SQL Server) for over 20 years. As a CSA, my role is helping customers deliver their projects and make the most of their Microsoft databases. I currently divide my time equally between SQL Server (on premise or in the cloud), and working with Fabric data solutions. In my spare time, I love 3D printing, astronomy and virtual reality. I live in Scotland with my wife, two children and a brown burmese cat named Leo.
