About this Blog and myself


Hello everyone,

My name is Luis Figueroa and I am an IT professional specialized on Microsoft SQL Server and BI. I am really passionate about architecting solutions that leverage the MS SQL Database Relational Engine and SQL server BI components to produce high performance solutions that deliver near real time data to businesses.

I am also an active member of the SQL Server community that enjoys learning and sharing knowledge  with others. I am the president for the Microsoft Business Intelligence User Group of South Florida and the Director of Sponsorship for the South Florida SQL Server User Group. I often speak at SQL Saturday events mostly in Florida and attend anywhere I can.

So as you would expect that is what this blog is going to be about. SQL Server / BI and the awesome SQL Server community. You can find me in LinkedIn and Twitter so if you have a passion for SQL Server or you are a Business Intelligence professional I would love to network with you. I am also always available to answer any questions whenever I can be of help.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Luis Figueroa
