Allstate

Brandie Tarvin has 13 years of experience of working as a Database Administrator and SQL developer. She came from a retail and customer service background, teaching herself SQL Server at home in an inexpensively built “home office” network, then took entry level database jobs before ending up at Allstate. Over the past 12 years, she has taught at SQL Saturdays and code camps. She has worked at Allstate Dealer Services for 11 years, regularly writes articles for SQLServerCentral.com, and mentors co-workers interested in learning programming and database administration. In addition to her database work, she is also a published fiction writer.
