Michael Koby’s Summary

I am a Senior-Principal level consultant with heavy experience in .Net C# development and SQL Server 2000/2005. my previous work experience has involved heavy data integration, utilizing these technologies. I have also spent time as a database administrator, handling backups and SQL Server optimization at the server level. I have done network administration work doing Active Directory setup and maintenance.

I am a "jack of all trades" type who likes to be hands on with the latest technology and is continually looking to learn new things and new ways to get the job done. I believe in continuous improvement, constant learning, and doing the best job possible no matter the task. As I continue to learn, I seek to improve my technical knowledge, business leadership, and management sense.
