About gertd
Hello,
My name is Gert Drapers, I am a Software Architect in the Windows Server Directory Services team, working on incubation projects. Before my current role I was the Lead Software Architect and Engineering Manager of the Visual Studio Team System Database Edition product, where I designed and developed the declarative database development tooling which is now shipping inside Visual Studio.
Since 1991, I contributed to many parts and releases of Microsoft SQL Server and to the Transaction Management infrastructure (MS-DTC, WS-AtomicTransaction and System.Transactions).
When I am not working, I am spending time with my wife and three lovely daughters; I love to cook and make music. Besides that I am trying to serve the SQL Server community by writing tools and articles which are published on http://SQLDev.Net and http://DBProj.com
I hope you enjoy the blog,
-GertD
