I’m a software engineer with a focus on databases. My career can be split into 4 periods

• Developing desktop apps and server-side logic in RDBMS.
• Shifting focus to the server side: database logic + data ingestion + ETL/ELT + OLAP + reporting.
• Expanding into Big Data, cloud, MPP and NoSQL engines.
• Pivoting to DBaaS platforms + administration + automation + containerisation at scale.

The blog is named SQLMDX because the WordPress site name must be at least 4 characters long and I have warm feelings about MDX even though its popularity is declining.
