ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Profile

More than 25 years IT experience, especially in enterprise level production environments supporting mission-critical, dynamic OLTP/OLAP applications.

In-depth knowledge and solid hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure environment. Also familiar with AWS.

Expert in designing and architecting database environments (on-premise or in cloud), performance tuning and troubleshooting.

Very familiar with Azure SQL Database/MI, SQLVM, Azure Synapse Analytics/Databricks/Data factory

My principles of architecting:

1. There is no perfect solution, the simplest solution is the best

2. Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing

3. Data security is always #1 priority. Nothing is overdone when it comes to protecting customer’s data
