Hey there! I’m Ben, a data enthusiast with a range of experience in the field, including roles as a database administrator, data engineer, and analyst. These past 10 years have taken me to some unexpected places, like Germany, but right now I call Monterrey, Mexico home.
My wife and I live a pretty simple life without any kids or pets. We love spending quality time together, whether it’s cozying up for a movie night at home or venturing out to explore new places, enjoy a good craft beer, or trying out a delicious restaurant. And let me tell you, we know how to throw an awesome party too!
One of my true passions is helping others learn SQL. Let me share a success story with you. My wife used to work as a financial auditor and often needed to analyze data from large Excel and CSV files. Unfortunately, Excel had its limitations, especially with the number of rows it could handle, which made it tough for her to get a complete view of the data.
To solve this, I introduced her to the wonders of SQL Server and taught her the basics of writing SQL queries. Fast forward a few years, and she’s now a pro at efficiently analyzing data. From loading it into SQL to exporting it back to a file or any other format she needs for her work, she’s got it covered. Her boss is even impressed by her newfound skills!
My journey in the tech world began over 15 years ago, starting with writing code for Visual Basic 6. Eventually, I made the transition to C# and .Net using the .Net Framework 2.0. But my true fascination lies with SQL Server, and I’ve dedicated myself to mastering it in order to continuously improve my skills.
