In November of 2015 I joined Microsoft as a Data Platform Solutions Architect on the Education Specialist Teams Unit (STU). As a DPSA on the Education STU, my job was to help my customers overcome the unique data problems presented to educational institutions. Since then, I’ve taken on the role of a Data & AI Specialist, playing a more strategic role with our customers. Technology is changing at warp speed and at Microsoft I have the wonderful opportunity to work with incredibly smart people on amazingly fun projects using the latest and greatest technology!

I’ve also worked as an author, contributor, and technical editor on several SQL Server and business intelligence related books.
