I had originally started with the source code (C language) of the DB-Library of Sybase (now SAP). It was a one-man contract to port it to various super computers for NSA, since no one else had the clearances. That was almost 30 years ago... Since that time I have picked up Oracle, Informix (now Ascential Software), and most other relational data servers, but my focus for the last 10 years has been rather exclusively on MS SQL Server. I have led both local and remote teams (both state-side and India) in SQL oriented projects in almost every industry (healthcare, transportation, communications, ...). My joy is to walk into high-stress, poor performing projects and bring order to the chaos. It has been my experience that the existing teams typically have the talent, they only need strong technical direction. My list of references can attest to what I have done for their projects. In fact, I didn`t look for my last two jobs, those companies came to me based upon my reputation. My ideal job would be working with a team to leverage the Azure environment. Hmm... of course, it would be a nostalgic adventure to return to my roots, Sybase / SAP.
