I`m an SQL Server consultant experienced in areas such as database design, T-SQL advanced programming, database administration and business intelligence. I have a good understanding of a few subject domains, for example, finance, trading, telecoms and insurance. Right now I`m running a small database consultancy and a blog, though I'm also an active stock trader.
