About

Powered by coffee and pride in my work, I'm a results-driven SQL developer with ten years of professional experience across MS SQL Server, ETL development, database architecture, and application support. I design and implement technical solutions tailored to actual business objectives — not just technically correct, but genuinely useful to the people relying on them.

These days I'm a Database Administrator III at Food City / K-VA-T Food Stores, managing the data layer behind a regional grocery chain, and finishing a Master of IT in software development at Southern New Hampshire University. Colleagues know me for analytical thinking, stubborn problem-solving, and delivering quality work in busy cross-functional environments — usually with a dad joke or two along the way.
