    <p>Hey, I'm Chrissy. I'm a <a href="http://www.realcajunrecipes.com">Cajun</a> living in Europe and a SQL Server DBA with over 20 years of experience.</p>
    <p>I've been a fan of Linux and Open Source since I was first introduced back in the 90's, right around the time I moved to California to work in tech. I've loved SQL Server for nearly as long. And of course, PowerShell, which I've worked with since 2005.</p>
