I'm Alex, a SQL Server database administrator. My working day is spent where data has to be fast, consistent and recoverable — query plans, indexes, backups that actually restore.

The rest of the time goes into the four doors above: collecting and framing masterpiece paintings in 4K, engineering shells for light, testing ideas against live markets, and driving to the places worth writing down.
