About a belle

I am a Business Intelligence Architect, trainer/instructor, consultant and author. I mostly work with SQL Server technologies. I also script and automate with PowerShell, and visualize with Tableau and Power BI.

I work with data, and love working with data.

I’ve worn many hats over the years and worked with many tools and technologies, but I’ve always loved working with SQL Server. I think SQL Server is a lot of fun. Lately I have also been having lots of fun delivering insights and dashboards using Tableau.

I am a Microsoft SQL Server MVP and a Microsft Certified Trainer (MCT). I hold MCITP DBA and Developer for SQL Server, and MCTS for SharePoint.

I am also Tableau Desktop 7, 8 & 9 Certified, and an accredited Tableau Trainer.

About this blog

This blog contains some of the things I learn about SQL Server, Power BI, Tableau etc. I blog about stuff I learn, stuff I stumble on, some of the gotchas that got me, and some of the gotchas I escaped from thanks to other people’s blogs, articles and what nots.

This blog represents my own journey, and my own discoveries as I work with data and tools for data. Everyday, I learn a new thing or two… from my experiences, from colleagues, students, and other books and blogs. I am using this blog as a medium to retain a little fraction of this learning, and to share it in case it’s useful to someone else.
