Hello! Thank you for visiting my page.

I’m Haripriya, I’ve been working as a SQL Server Database Administrator for 10 years, based out of Boston, MA, USA.
I’m very passionate about databases and love to dive into the internals of SQL Server Engine. I work a lot on AWS ec2 instances and I’m an AWS Certified Solutions Associate. I’m trying to write a lot about SQL Server and also the books I read. Here is my LinkedIn profile if you want to connect and you may also subscribe to this newsletter if you’re interested.

My speaking journey

I recently started my speaking journey and I first presented at New Stars of Data in April 2024. A huge thanks to my mentor Deborah Melkin and Andy Yun for the support, and to Ben Weissman for the opportunity. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of presenting in-person at SQL Saturday events in Albany, San Diego, and Boston, and virtually at the GLASS user group, Rhode Island user group, and SQL Friday.

And I spoke in-person at PASS Summit in November 2024. I got selected to speak at PASS via ‘New Stars of Data’, huge thanks to Ben Weissman for this opportunity.

Here are some of my proud moments that I wanted to compile under one place.
