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).

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.
