So I started in high school for marketing. I really enjoyed that. Ah, and I wanted to go to the University of Utah. So I started out in the business school for marketing and it took a nightie class that I really enjoy it move from marketing to I t so specialized in databases specifically on Bennett just kind of went on from there, finish school and started down that track.Yeah, I would. I would say that it helped me quite a bit by choosing the database path. Um, it's really desired. Used pretty extensively through every organization. So choosing that path, I think my career, uh, because I always had some to my experience. Ah. Helped a lot specific incidents. Um, I can't think of anything. Specifically, I did take class with one of the professors, and I think just taking that class changed everything of what I was going to do. Um, so I think that specifically helped and just a lot of things along the way people helping me, the further my career.

Yes. So right now, our whole organizations working from home. I used to go in two days out of the office, but with Corona virus and everything else our team is Well, is the Yeah company has been told. Um, so, um, that's where I works extensively. Uh, the nice thing is, it's easy to get up and start workday. Um, some of the issues is your kind of always available, which is fine. I'm kind of I'm used to that. Just dan A D b a. Um, but that's kind of the downfall of working from home is you could be reached at any moment and expected to jump on for certain scenarios. Um, also just staying motivated and on task at working from home is a little bit harder than in the office because there's other distractions. So, um, just staying on task is a bigger thing for working. Um, we don't really travel through my job very much. We do occasionally for training. Um, you know, we did sequel server AWS trainings, and so they would send us to different places. Other than that, we don't I don't travel very often, Um, in terms of what I do on a daily basis. So we have a dev ops, um, kind of experience that what we do at my work is around dev ops. So I do a lot of code reviews. I meet with developers. We talk about things that they have in place and what they're trying to accomplish. And so I help on the database perspective. Sorry, Um, and just help them, uh, you know, go to the right direction, make sure it makes sense and that it is optimized. Our company's pretty big. We have several servers throughout everywhere. You could probably imagines we have, um, organization in Utah. We also have some and uh huh, just throughout the worlds of Germany. Uh, Middle East. Everything that kind of covers because we're pretty extensive. Um, so in terms of my getting back to the topic of what I dio on a regular basis, so probably 40% of what I do is code reviews. Meeting with Dev's 50% is probably automation from our current tasks were constantly trying to automate things that we do to make it, uh, more reliable. Easier to do faster. Onda that goes along with the Dev Ops model that we try to dio continuous and integration continuous development and making it easy as possible. Um, the remainder I probably spent on training. That's a constant thing. It's not something that you ever finished because, um, the world n i t. At least our group is constantly changing. There's always new technologies that you need to learn and kind of adapt. Make sure that you can stay up to the task of making sure everything is covered through your company or your work. Um, so that's one thing is just keeping that passion toe learn and constantly change. Um, I t specifically requires that. So it's not gonna be something you could sit on for 5, 10 years unless you know the company you're working with doesn't change so most entirely. All the other organizations probably changed quite a bit from my experience

um, dio a fair amount of programming are organization is a Microsoft shop. So I do a lot of t c equal power shell C sharp. Um, any programming language that we need So if there's quite a bit in terms of that, um, databases right now we're using my sequel. Roar DB is through a W s. Um, that's just the flavor is my sequel. Ah, we do a lot of sequel server, um, Microsoft sequel servers. So most of our organizations built off of that, and we're trying to go into a roar db through AWS Mawr Cloud Computing sequel server licensing cost is pretty high, like we spent, you know, millions of dollars just on licensing for organization. So we're trying to move away from that, do things that are more free where 88 ws has a lot of options, but you're still paying for the cloud resource is s. So I don't know that you would ever get away from the cost, but it would reduce it quite a bit if you can move to, um, freeware things that handle what you need. Ah, the problem with that is changing everything. Our architecture er to moved to a different platform, and that's pretty resource intensive. Moving the data over is not as big of a deal, but all the reports and things that act upon the data. You have tow change, so that takes a fair amount of work. Um, source control is a big thing. So TFs or get up, we use that pretty extensively. Um, and Jenkins, some of the continuous integration things are starting to pop out, so we kind of used Jenkins more recently.
