I have been a tech guy since the 1980's. My first computer was a Tandy Color Computer II. I was a PC tech during the boom of the early 1990's and by the late 90's I was doing web development in PHP and MySQL. In 2008 I dove into Sybase and MS SQL Server administration and today I find myself doing quite a bit of SQL development, ETL, and an increasing amount of business intelligence tasks via SQL Server.While I enjoy solving problems and I love technology, I am creative at heart. I am an avid photographer, shooting both digital and medium format film. I am a co-founder of Champaign Camera Group in Urbana, OH. This group brings local photographers together for group shoots and education. I enjoy creating more than anything.I am always willing to listen to an opportunity, especially if it offers the chance to marry my technical skills and creative passion.I can be reached at billblue@outlook.com
