There is nothing special about this blog. Even though I love SQL, I am a big supporter of how technology enable customers to realize their dreams. In that sense I read from networking, management, SQL Server, MS Technologies, Search engines to anything that captures my interest. I use this blog as an avenue to share what I read, try and feel about SQL and other technologies.

Most of what I want to share are part of my web space at: www.ExtremeExperts.com. Apart from that I write for other magazines and try to make an online presence given an opportunity. I love to meet people and spread the word of using technology the right way.

Oct-06 was a turning point for me as I joined Microsoft as a Technology Evangelist with a core focus on databases and technologies I love to work :). Interestingly there is a lot to share and I hope to keep with pace …

Now Jan-2010 marks the next leap I am going to make inside of MS itself. I joined the vibrant MTC Team in Bangalore and more about what I plan to do is now public. I now work as an MTC-Technology Specialist and hence my areas of focus is going to get even more broad. So expect that to reflect over my blogs too.

All the more reasons why I had to move into this new blog space … Change is the only constant and I am committed to being here … As a change process, I moved to this new blog spot at the stroke of 2011 New Year (http://blogs.extremeexperts.com/2010/12/31/my-blog-new-home/). Thanks …

Lastly, this is MY own space to express MY own views and these are not representation of what my employers views. Had to put that disclaimer …

BTW – Lots of people have been asking what I do as an Evangelist :) … As I was browsing for a proper quote I got into Wikipedia just as most of you.

“An evangelist promotes the use of a particular product or technology through talks, articles, blogging, user demonstrations, recorded demonstrations, or the creation of sample projects.” – Source

I think this very much sums up what I do. You can always see us being there to Help and not to Sell :). And we do a lot more customer centric activities that is not quoted above which constitute another 70% of our time … Fundamentally, a lot or fun at work and tons and tons of reasons to read and create content for YOU !!!
