He possesses diverse skills and experience in troubleshooting, optimizing, maintaining and developing secure, high availability and performance database solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When he is not tinkering with technology he enjoys spending time with his family, digital imaging, javelin throwing and reading about quantum physics, cosmology and philosophy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">He blogs at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlsorcerer.com\/\">http:\/\/www.SqlSorcerer.com<\/a> and is on Twitter @SqlSorcerer.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Dainius &#8211; I&#8217;m looking forward to working with him over the next six months.<\/p>\n<p>PS I\u2019m often asked how to get into our mentoring program \u2013 it\u2019s simple: attend one of our Immersion Events and get to know one of us, and then ask and see if there\u2019s a match that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve had a mentoring program here at SQLskills for a few years (the brainchild of Jonathan), where each of us can pick someone who\u2019s attended one of our Immersion Events in the past and offer to be their mentor for six months.
