About Cathrine
Hi! I’m Cathrine. I love data and coding, as well as teaching and sharing knowledge 🤓
When I was 10 years old, I decided to learn HTML and CSS because it was fun! That curiosity and passion for solving technical challenges has stuck with me ever since.
I’ve now worked with Azure Data and the Microsoft Data Platform for over 15 years, mainly focusing on Business Intelligence, Data Integration and Data Warehousing projects. My core skills are Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Power BI, and T-SQL development, but I enjoy everything from programming to data visualization.
Outside of work, I’m an international speaker, author, blogger, organizer, and chronic volunteer. Because of my community involvement, I have received the Microsoft Data Platform MVP Award every year since 2015.
I’m also a Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, a Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate, and I’m old enough to still be a proud Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Data Management and Analytics.
…yeah, there’s a reason I call myself a full-time geek. I also love sci-fi and fantasy, design and typography, coffee and chocolate, I’m a dog mom and cat lover, and you will never take my emojis from me! (I made custom 8x8 pixel smilies to use on my first blog back in 2001, I’m allowed to enjoy the emoji keyboard in Windows 😁)
