About Igor Kovalenko

I've been in IT since 1991 starting my carrier on Unix & C development. Now i am a consultant in Microsoft Services, Russia. My areas of experience - SQL & OLAP. I've been working with Microsoft tools for more than 15 years, started from asm 5.0 and Quick C 2.51 through (Visual) FoxPro, VB, C#... But my mission is SQL. Truly says i have enough knowledge both Oracle (8, 9.i) and Microsoft db technology, but it's to hard for me to cover both :-). My real data warehousing experience started with one of the largest DW implementation with using Oracle 9i in Russia till 2002. Of course i also implemented the first part of BI project on top of this DW with using SQL AS 2000 & Crystal reports. After that for a year i was a seniour developer, Online Services, in Dell UK, Bracknell (c++/vb/Oracle/SQL/ASP). In 2003 i was a little bit tired from High Technology World and decided to join Deloitte, Moscow, where i was a Finance analyst, member of Business Director Group. I really miss a half of my IT knowledge this time (SQL & Crystal is only useful), but now i perfectly know the "underground" of any BIG 4 consulting company, budgeting and managing process details, FTE, Utilization, OPTS analysis.... Hell, real accounting hell. I was excited to design and implement my first (and last) project with using Cognos EP tool. At the end of 2005 i was hired by my favorite company :-) Microsoft and now i am working with my favorite tool: SQL Server. To keep a long story short :-).
