About TroubleshootingSQL
I started this blog as a place to write down the SQL Server questions I kept answering — remediations, scripts, and the odd unique fix — so the community (and my future self) could reuse them. That habit has not changed. What has expanded is the scope.
TroubleshootingSQL is where I write about Data, AI, and current tech trends: how data platforms behave under real workloads, when AI actually helps product and engineering work (and when it does not), and the tools I am testing along the way.
About me
I am Amit Banerjee, an engineering executive in the Greater Seattle Area. I currently serve as Global Vice President — Foundational Technology & Services at Nike, leading security, foundational platforms, and data and BI platforms for production-grade enterprise AI.
Previously I was Vice President of Software Engineering at Salesforce for Marketing Cloud Engagement’s messaging and data platform, and before that Senior Director of Software Engineering there. At Microsoft I was Principal Group Product Manager for SQL Server, SQL Server on Azure VM, Azure Arc SQL Managed Instance, and Azure SQL Edge. Earlier roles included Senior Premier Field Engineer and Support Escalation Engineer on SQL Server.

Community
I still speak and contribute in the data community when I can. If a script or write-up helps you, use it — and if you improve it, I welcome a PR or a note with what you changed.
