Hi there! This is Marlon. I’m here to learn and share things about data and the technologies around data.
I am a data professional primarily focusing on the Microsoft stack. My work experience includes but not limited to database administration, SQL development, query & performance tuning, ETL, BI, and many others. I am the primary author of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Blueprints and a Technical Reviewer for the recently published book SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Services with R. I am featured in the book Data Professionals at Work. My love for continuous learning is leading me to the path of Big Data and Data Science.
After spending about 10 years in the aerospace industry, I joined a software company that caters to the retail industry few years ago. I am learning a lot about the complex world of supply chain demand management, and I am enjoying every minute of it.
As an active member of the SQL Community in Southern California, I served in the organizing teams of SQL Saturday events in the Los Angeles/Orange County areas in the past.
I am passionate about SQL Server. I love learning about technology. Mostly, I am a sponge – the learner – but I love sharing my knowledge every time I can. I am introvert by nature but loves connecting to people in various avenues, through technical community events such as the SQL Saturday, social networks, on my blog, and other forums.
Outside of the technology sphere, I am active in Freemasonry, the oldest fraternity in the world founded in 1717. I am a member of Sunnyside Lodge #577 under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of California. Almost everything you read about Freemasonry in the interwebs is wrong; so that’s that. Ask 1 to be 1. I am also a member of the Shriner International – one of the biggest philanthropic organizations in the world – with the Al Malaikah Shriners in Los Angeles.
You may catch me on Twitter – @MarlonRibunal. Learn along with me on my musing with data on this technical (and non-technical alike) blog – SQL, Code, Coffee, Etc.
This blog is about learning, tinkering, and musing on SQL Server, Database Development, BI, and data in general. I don’t claim expertise on any of the topics discussed here.
Welcome to my blog!
