SQL Server is the centerpiece of data storage for business and web based information systems.
An often overlooked point is to make sure that SQL Server is properly tuned to run at top speed. You don't want to miss out on the high level of performance payback that SQL Server can deliver. I can help you ensure that SQL Server is running at its best. My background in high level mathematics, years of real world SQL Server tuning experience and advanced training have given me the skills to do the job right.
I have been working with Microsoft SQL Server for 30 years - since it was first released in 1989.
My start on the Windows NT Server path was the 1992 Microsoft Professional Developers Conference.
After graduating from the University of California, San Diego, I came up through the developer ranks of Pascal, Z80 Assembler, Fortran, LISP, C, C++, Win32 API, COM+, SQL and VB. Along the way I also studied TCP/IP networking and Microsoft server products. I attained the MCSE certification back in 1996.
Currently I specialize in SQL Server, C#, and .NET. I focus on attaining best performance and reliability while keeping a close watch on security. My skill sets and real world experience includes Microsoft server software development and configuration using the following building blocks: TCP/IP networking, Windows Server 2019 and C#. Security awareness is an important part of my skillset. The combination of SQL Server, Windows Server and development skills gives me a total system perspective to be able to do the job right. I have improved the performance of single server web sites and web farms with hundreds of concurrently connected users.
I offer you the very best up-to-date technical assistance.
Use the great features of Microsoft Server software to improve your business efficiency and security. Give your business a competitive advantage by using SQL Server 2022 or 2019, Windows Server 2022 and .NET applications.
I have the expert T-SQL, C# and .NET skills and experience to tune and build applications that take full advantage of the new Microsoft software technologies. Give your business the reliable, fast and secure information technology foundation that you need to succeed.

Chris Dickey of cDickey.net consulting was quoted in June 2000 in this Computerworld article on .NET
Microsoft stakes future on .Net
June 26, 2000 (Computerworld) REDMOND, WASH. -- Microsoft Corp. bet its future last week on .Net, its vision of software services that live on the Internet. But initial reactions were skeptical, with users and analysts noting that the core technologies are unproven and that many key components are years from delivery.
