Over the past decade-plus, I have helped organizations build towards healthier developer cultures. I focus on the intersection of humans and technology and make them work together. To me, this means understanding the broader strategic context of an operation and then building a culture of learning and mentorship around it.

Björn Peters

I've started with SQL Server 6.5 but only as a sys-admin and not as DBA. Later I'd worked as a full DBA with SQL Server 2000 and my love to SQL Server started. In 2015 I'd got more interested in SQL PASS and tried to speak for the first time... the main part of my job is to work as DB-Admin and solution architect but I'm trying to widen my horizons. In 2016 I've visited and volunteered at the German SQL Saturdays und SQLGrillen and since October 2016 I'm the organizer of Azure Meetup Hamburg.

Michael Wall has been an IT professional going back to when he had his own software store and worked with his customers with their “dose” problems. Originally hired by a small consulting firm to write web pages, he was thrust into the SysAdmin world when their lead consultant changed the passwords of all of the servers at a major pulp and paper company’s systems to 100%s$%t and walked out the door. He was sent down with a copy of UNIX for Dummies and 50 cents for the bus ride back. Fast forward a few years, he was asked if he wanted to be a DBA after successfully managing a fifty server Y2K upgrade. Since then, he’s never looked back and has survived a number of data and system challenges. When not wrangling cats at home, he currently keeps busy with being active in the SQL Community by presenting and coordinating. He is blessed with a wonderful family and two lazy cats and keeps treading water literally down at the local pool.

Senior Consultant IoT, Microsoft Azure MVP
Stefan Denninger

Stefan started his IT career 25 years ago. The study of information systems parallel to the job has hand in hand fertilized the professional life. The many stations from helpdesk, router configuration to business also had projects with MS Biztalk Server and many years with identity management. The operational management of data centers and countless customer projects has recently resulted in the creation of a powerful cloud group with a focus on Microsoft Azure and Office 365. The focus is currently on digitization in Industry 4.0 with IIoT. The projects are now completely different, since production and IT had nothing to do with each other for a long time. The projects are very local and also hybrid. Therefore, the Azure Stack family and Azure as a hybrid solution are an important part. If there is time I write information on https://blog.denninger.at, or send tweets at @stefandenninger In April 2018 till 2020, he was appointed Microsoft Regional Director. In August 2019 he was awarded the title Microsoft MVP!
