About SqlinSix

When I was in 4th grade, I completed a science fair project that compared batteries. I measured how long batteries lasted and included the cost per minute. At the time of the contest, I favored one of the batteries personally because of humorous marketing. That favorite battery of mine didn't last the longest, nor was the best cost per minute.

From this project, I learned to put aside my personal view of things and measure as precisely as possible. I did not win first place in the science fair. I mailed each battery company a hand-written letter showing a summary of my findings (including hand-drawn graphs and tables!). One of the battery companies replied with a letter, a toy, and some free batteries. I fully admit that in 4th grade, a toy beat a blue ribbon.

This early project started my journey in data. I learned that if I had a question, I could create a test, measure data, and come to my own conclusions. While I didn't know it at the time, this project later helped me quickly see the inaccuracy of many inflation measures. Since 4th grade, I have continued doing my own research as well as completing data and research project for clients.

In 2009 I began the largest study on the Millennial demographic at the time and completed the study in 2011 with predictions. For the next few years, I spent time speaking about marketing to the Millennial generation based on the data and analysis I had done. This early project equipped me with the tools to store and query data quickly, along with thinking about how to store data. From this project, I began working on data projects for clients in finance, insurance, energy and manufacturing.

Our Founder

SqlinSix started as a YouTube channel that our founder used to catalog repetitive problems and solutions. Previous to the channel, our founder faced the challenge of out-of-date software information. Content produced as a solution or explanation often worked at one time and without evidence. The founder used videos to catalog what worked using demonstrations, while also recognizing that future editions could make a solution irrelevant. As the channel grew in its niche, it expanded to data and security topics - some videos which can still be viewed to this day.

Today, SqlinSix assists clients with technical solutions, such as database administration and data-oriented development.
