| Where | When | Description | |

Barclays Capital | Nov 09 - Present (5 months) | Database Developer I'm writing this after fairly recently joining this team. I will not write much as I am still learning however in the short months I've been here I've built some pretty cool data manipulation processes using some of the more interesting features in MSSQL (like CTE). | |
| Sept 08 - Nov 09 (1 years 3 months) | Database Administrator I made it though the mess that was the Lehman Bankruptcy, that says a lot. I was the only remaining MSSQL DBA who knew the systems and they needed me for the integration (and support). I started at Barclays with a solid base understanding of administering SQL Server and a fairly strong understanding of building complex queries as well as strictly using queries and T-SQL to accomplish a variety of goals. From here I felt it was time for me to build a deeper understanding of SQL Server, and transitioned to a development team which uses MSSQL heavily. | ||
Lehman Brothers | March 07 - Sept 08 (1 years 7 months) | Database Administrator Fresh out of college I joined Lehman Brother's Technology Development Program (TDP) which was a few intense weeks of studying everything there is to know about capital markets followed by project work which was eventually presented to the CTO. After the TDP program I started work as a Database Administrator for SQL Server. | |
Code Drink Inc | Jan 05 - Dec 06 (2 years) | Director and Developer I Co-founded a small business, Code Drink, that delivered custom dynamic web systems to small businesses. Here I developed our products with PHP and MySQL, presented our web systems to future clients and worked closely with a designer to make our clients visions a reality. | |
AXB Group | June 03 - Oct 04 (1 years 5 months) | Web Developer and Linux Admin At college I met a professor who needed some custom web work done for his business. He also had a few original ideas worth creating businesses out of some of which I was lucky enough to work on. | |
