I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and started my career as a manufacturing engineer. While designing testing process, I developed interest in database and SQL query with Microsoft Access. I designed manufacturing databases and developed queries, forms, reports for user interface as well as reports for inventory, shipping and other departments. When the company adopted MES (Manufacturing Execution System), I jumped right in and worked closely with database administrator and software developer teams to analyze and design database structure, schema, relationships and etc.
I took an opportunity to become an IT professional. I was tasked for database administration, software and website development, active directory, IIS and other IT jobs. I redesigned company internal software and revamped their website. Throughout my tenure in the company, I developed my passion with SQL and .NET (C# and ASP.NET). My works consistently provide high efficient solutions to help users in their daily operation, and significantly reduce their reporting time.
While developing software and designing more reports, I became diligent in performance optimization. By carefully examining query execution plan and its IO/time statistics, I learned to improve performance by developing more efficient query and stored procedures.
As I became more involved in SQL Server administration, I carefully optimized server configuration such as virtual log size, file instant initialization, tempdb allocation, isolation level and proper index implementation to obtain better database performance. I also designed high availability and disaster recovery strategy to protect data loss and to sustain business operation.
