Intro

Hi, my name is Varun Sabhlok. I'm a Database Technologies' Consultant.

How many times have you heard the phrase, "Data is the new Gold"? We see, on a daily basis, how data is helping transform businesses and our society as a whole. And there are no second thoughts on why Data is so very important today. But like Gold, Data needs to be mined, cleansed & polished in order for it to be valuable.

Well, that's what I do for a living. I help businesses tap into this new found gold into valuable insights. I have over a decade of experience working in Design & Development of large scale IT database applications. I live in the Toronto, Canada.
