I started in the industry in 1994 working for DEC on the VMS file system and chkdsk equivalent, eventually moving to work on prototype kernel-mode, fully-transactional file system for Windows NT (we got the core of it running in 30000 lines of code...) In 1999 I moved to Microsoft to work on SQL Server, specifically on DBCC. For SQL Server 2000, I wrote DBCC INDEXDEFRAG, DBCC SHOWCONTIG, and parts of DBCC CHECKDB. For SQL Server 2005, I rewrote the majority of DBCC CHECKDB and repair, through the end of 2003. I then became the lead developer/manager of one the five dev teams in the Storage Engine, Access Methods. This team is responsible for DBCC, allocation, indexes & heaps, DML, text/LOB storage, snapshot isolation, index DDL, bulk load and sort. I did this until late 2005 when I changed engineering disciplines to lead the Program Management team for the whole Storage Engine so I could become more engaged with customers.
