Full Biography

My contact information ben@benmiller.net.

I am a SQL Server Architect. I have been using SQL Server and ASP/ASP.NET since the mid '90s. I have developed many sites, but the most active is https://www.sweepstakestoday.com. This runs on ASP.NET 5.0 MVC and has a SQL 2017 backend.

I have worked in Microsoft SQL Server Support and in the Microsoft MVP Program. I spent 5 years in Wisconsin as a Sr. Systems Engineer setting up networks and designing solutions for businesses around Wisconsin. I then spent 7 years with Microsoft in Seattle.

I was awarded SQL Server MVP on January 1, 2011. https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/mvp/Ben%20J%20Miller-4030644

I obtained my MCM : SQL Server 2008 / MCSM: Charter Data Platform on February 27, 2013.

I love SQL Server and ASP.NET and answering questions. Life happens and I try to get out here as often as possible.
