Hi, I'm Sean Pearce. I'm a SQL Server consultant with a background in application development. I started my career in 1996 as a Visual Basic developer. My initial years with Microsoft application development exposed me to SQL Server starting with version 6.5.

By the time SQL Server 2000 had been released, I had found a database mentor with a Teradata background and never looked back. I moved from application development into a SQL Server focused role and took to SQL Server like a duck to water.

I have a thorough understanding of the architecture and processes driving SQL Server which allows me to focus on performance tuning and problem solving for clients. I also writes some mean SQL.

In my spare time I am actively involved in the SQL Server community having spoken at PASS SQL Saturday and I present regularly to the Johannesburg SQL Server User Group.
