Joe Yong

Senior PM, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Microsoft Corp

Joe is currently in the Azure SQL Data Warehouse team working primarily on the storage engine and tier-1 EDW scenarios. Prior to this, he was the PM owner of SQL Server 2016 Stretch Database; the first truly hybrid database in the industry.

Joe cut his database teeth on Oracle serving hard time as a developer then DBA. One too many ORA-01555 later, he joined Microsoft to work on SQL Server in the areas of upgrade/migrate, performance, scalability and security. Between stints in the product group he spent several years as a consultant working with customers around the world to design, deploy and manage business critical systems.

When AFK, Joe tries to power drift, onsight 5.11s or hunt for good eats (efforts to cure his 4-year old Australian Labradoodle’s obsession with squeaky tennis balls is on indefinite hold).
