I work as a Software Architect at Derivco in Durban SA, and I am a Microsoft Data Platform MVP. My job is to safeguard our existing architecture and come up with new designs and architectures based on the latest technologies. I love it!! Before joining Derivco I worked for Developmentor as a researcher / instructor, where I was responsible for the database curriculum.

Having worked with SQL Server since it shared code-base with Sybase, my main technology interest is databases in general and SQL Server specifically. I am also very interested in message based applications, distributed and concurrent systems. Right now I am extremely interested in Data Science, and how that can help Derivco!
