Hi, I’m @EdCallahan. I am the Data Services Lead in Winona State University. That job has evolved over the years, I started out embedded in our Institutional Research department and generating official statistics, statistical analysis, enrollment projections and generating raw datasets and reports to assist both Administration's needs but also to keep operational departments operating (Admissions, Housing, Advising, etc). I wrote a lot of SQL, wrote SSRS reports and PowerBI reports in this stage.

I've retained some of that work supporting operations, and I've now added handing data integrations between systems. I use mostly of PowerShell these days, and interact with a variety of web services. I've inherited data integrations from the Minnesota State System Student Record system into Dynamics CRM, and am now pretty dedicated in implementing a replacement integration into Salesforce.

I also backup our DBA at Winona State and have deal with Replication and Service Broker on the MS SQL Platform.

I live in the Driftless Region along the Upper Mississippi in Wisconsin. I ride and tour on motorcycles (Triumph Bonneville and a Suzuki V-Strom), take pictures (now with my Olympus E-M5II).
