Most of my career (since 1999) has been designing and reporting from medium-sized databases at large public school districts and other government funded agencies, where the government accountability trend has driven increasingly intensive reporting requirements for publicly-funded human services. I authored and managed software for Highline Public Schools in Burien, Washington for the state's Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS). Now I have fun at Command Prompt Inc. consulting with customers on data design, SQL, and related database issues.
