My name’s Kevin.
I have a worked in the various Data Products over the years. Including SQL Server, Azure Synapse Analytics and Microsoft Fabric.
In addition, I have experience with other technologies as well. Like Azure DevOps and Hadoop. Plus, areas including compliancy and automation. Which is why you will find a lot of posts on here relating to both Data Platform and Developer Technologies.
Over time I have gained a reputation for making significant system and process improvements where required. Plus, I am known for my DevOps knowledge within the Data Platform community. Appearing in three Azure Synapse and MVP series videos.
More recently, I have been involved with Microsoft Fabric. To the extent that trained others to pass the DP-600 exam.
I am originally from the UK and currently living in the Netherlands.. Plus, I am currently a Data Platform MVP awarded in the Microsoft Fabric technology area. I am also a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
Knowledge sharing
I have shared knowledge in various ways over the years. Because I am passionate in helping others. Which is one of the reasons I created this website. I also share a variety of CI/CD templates on my GitHub page for the same reason.
I am a big believer in the Microsoft community as well. Which is why I have been involved in events around Europe in various ways.
Including being involved in the first ever SQL Saturday in the UK many years ago. Plus, I am one of the organizers of the DataWeekender conference and I am also one of the organizers of the new Dutch Fabric User Group.
You can also see what I have done over the years on LinkedIn.
Outside of technology
Of course, there’s a lot more to me than that. For example, I once took part in Prudential RideLondon for Team MacMillan. To raise money for a very good cause.
I now intend to post in one single place to benefit others and to keep everything centralized.
