About me
I am the principal consultant for VidasSoft Systems Inc. corporation (Toronto, Canada) that specializes in building data warehouse solutions using Microsoft technologies (SQL Server, SSIS, Multidimensional and Tabular SSAS, PowerPivot). I worked with SQL Server since 1995 and started to use Analysis Services (now SSAS) as soon as it was released with SQL Server 7.0 (1998). For the past 14 years, I was working exclusively on building data warehouses.
I was Microsoft SQL MVP (Most Valuable Professional) from April 2008 until July 2018.
In 2012 I achieved SSAS Maestro certification – highest available certification level in Analysis Services field. In 2013 there was just one person in Canada with this certification (about 36 people in the world).
