Stijn Wynants

Microsoft Customer Engineer
I am a Microsoft Customer Engineer in Data & AI, former-MVP & a dataMinds (Belgian Data Platform User Group) core member. Next to my day to day jobs, I am also one of the organisers of the local user group sessions & the yearly event called DataMinds Connect (SQL Server Days).
My perfect day is spend by tuning SQLPools & solving problems with the data platform. My main focus is SQL Server Core and Azure Data Solutions, but I have also done various BI & ETL projects. I get my kicks out of Column Store indexes & tuning queries.

Microsoft Customer Engineer
I love data and making queries run fast. The thrill of taking that long running query and making it run in under 10 seconds is amazing! It’s a great time to be a Data Engineer with all the exciting new and evolving tools in Azure.

There is an old saying – “Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.”. As much as I enjoy tuning systems, I find far more satisfaction from helping others learn how to do what I do. I would not be where I am in my career or life without all the help that I have received along the way, so paying it forward is very important to me!
