Hey there, I’m Steve Rezhener, and I specialize in Microsoft Data Platform, SQL Server, Microsoft BI Stack, and AWS/Azure/GCP public clouds.
I hold a degree Computer Information Systems and Software Development from Champlain College in Burlington, VT, and is graduate of the MBA Program in Information Technology from University of Redlands in Redlands, CA.
I support the SQL Community (a.k.a. #sqlfamily) as a co-organizer of SQL Saturday in Los Angeles event, co-leader of LA Data Platform (f.k.a. SQL Malibu) User Group, frequent SQLSaturday speaker/volunteer, and President and Co-Founder of the Data Driven Technologies, Inc 501.c.3. non-profit.
I live in Woodland Hills (a suburb of Los Angeles), CA. When not dealing with data, I’m upgrading my house, and playing an XBOX with my 2 kids.
History
I started my IT career back in 1999 while trying to combine 3 Excel file into one using Visual Basic for Application (a.k.a. VBA). I co-developed my first Windows-based client-server application using Visual Basic (VB) 6.0 and Microsoft Access to help my employer (a vendor of wireless equipment) to better manage RMA/RTV process for it’s products. Few years after that, I co-developed a CRM application using the same tools familiar to me (VB and Access) for an appliance repair shop. The year was 2004 and I decided to upgrade my skills to VB.NET, C# and SQL Server. Suddenly I found myself getting addicted to SQL Server 2005 and data related tools. My lunch menu for 12+ years consisted of SSIS & SSRS with some occasional SSAS for breakfast. I’m super excited about the innovation baked into AWS, Azure, Power BI, as well as SQL Server 2019. I’m a holder of relics such as MCP, MCITP SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
