From my first CV I remembered putting down data manipulation as what I like to do, and so far so good providing a pleasureable and good career to me. Data analysis, data preparation and reporting on NATIS and later eNaTIS most rewarding. Using SQL on MS Sql Server, MS Access, Ingres, Oracle, SAS - more than 19 years now. Also relating to data as financials are the heart of the business, had been Financial manager and Accountant for 7 years (using JD Edwards, Pastel, MS Access) and still left with a soft spot for that and would not mind getting back to that if the opportunity presents itself. As a sideline programmed in Turbo Pascal and C and now TSQL in a way to keep my coding hobby on the go. Still have a copy of my old applications using DOSBOX.
