Of course. Here's some pieces that I pulled from my dice.com resume.
It's relatively current. The main change from below is my employer is
now know as DTI, and the web-site (one of the servers I maintain) is
http://www.dtint.com/. We're an international software company with
400+ employees. Specific to SQL, a few years ago I wrote the
conversion of our support application - from Sybase to MS-SQL Server.
My daily tasks with MySQL involve the request system used for the IT
group of which I'm a part.
