David Sumlin

David Sumlin has run his own contracting business for the last 6 years and has been involved in SQL development for the last 8 years. He and his team of skilled developers have tried to stay up to date with Microsoft development technologies when it comes to SQL and .net. For the last few years, HeadWorks Inc. has been focused on data warehouses and marts and the reporting applications that interact with them for large financial institutions. When David isn't coding, he's out looking for birdies!
