My name is Niko Neugebauer and I am a Software Designer, who is enjoying creating new stuff and optimizing the existing systems. I am quite passionate about common sense and I do love helping others creating some meaning. What I do not appreciate are lazy angry greedy trolls - they will get no sweets for Halloween from me. :p

So I am starting my blog writing about a lot of differnt things:
- SQL Server
- Design
- Marketing
- Software Development
- Jobs and Recrutment (aka Human Resources)
- SQL Server Community (including PASS)
- other things that i think that are fun writing about. :)

I do love data and analytics, and I do enjoy working with Databases and since every application is all about the data - there is no way to ignore them at all. I have worked with a number of Databases but I do particulary enjoy SQL Server. Yeap, I am a kind of a fan-boy, probably... hahaha :)

I am quite excited about SQL Azure and already set up an account to experiment it - i am looking forward to write about my experiences in the neares feature.

Design - everything we do is a design. We are designing our reality, we are designing our future and sometimes - we do design our past. ;) hahaha

Marketing - I am fascinated about marketing and since we live in a competitive world, we have to position and compare everything we do.

Software Development - this is what I do for living, and I am even getting paid for that !!! ;)

«Human Resources» - there is so much to be said and written about this matter, because the vast majority of the market is very far from being educated. And yes, I do not enjoy this combination of words, because so many times they demote a human into a resource.

I am going to write about the SQL Server community in Portugal and since I am a chapter leader of the SQLPort I am going to use this space to write about the changes that SQLPort is undergoing.
Maybe even I shall write a couple of words about the european community, because SQLPort is a part of it. :)
Be sure to find a couple of mentions of the PASS - being a very silent observer for a couple of years - I became an active PASS volunteer during 2010, so sometimes I do feel like I have a couple of things to share. :)

Be sure to get back to this blog sometimes, since I am looking to write at least every 10 day something new here. ;)

And last not to say the least:
Happy New Year!
