The work

SQL Prompt: IntelliSense, formatting and refactoring for SQL Server, sold as a paid desktop tool to database professionals. Already long established by the time I joined, and carrying an adapter per version of SSMS, whose extensibility surface differed between releases.

What I was responsible for

• Leading the redesign of the SQL formatting feature
• In-script rename and F12 go-to-definition, the SQL equivalents of what ReSharper does for C#, both resting on attributing each identifier to the object it refers to
• Working from support channels, forums and UserVoice, and turning that feedback into shipped changes
