I've been in IT since 1986 starting my career on the IBM
mainframe programming in such languages as Application System, PL/1, CICS, DB2,
System W. Around 1994 I moved into the client/server environment using Visual
Basic and C++, Oracle at first and then Microsoft SQL Server, I now code using
VB.NET and C# but am really SQL Server focused.
I've been an independent consultant since 1999 based in Harpenden,
Hertfordshire. I've built long standing relationships with many clients from a
Research Fellow right the way through to enterprise covering a lot of business
areas, Banking (Retail, Investment), Retail, Knowledge Management,
Manufacturing, Motor Racing, Web Industries and a ton more I don't even know how
to classify!
In 1998 I founded the UK SQL Server Community (http://sqlserverfaq.com) - I
still run this in my spare time, presenting in the Community, doing online
webcasts etc... In 2006 I started SQLBlogCasts which is a free community
blogging site for SQL folk in the UK; I am also a founder of SQLBits Community
conferences.
If you need anything SQL Server centric then give me a call for an initial free
chat on your problem, my rates are reasonable and costed such to be affordable
for an ongoing relationship which many of my clients do.
