Database Architecture
Query optimization, migrations, and architecture design across relational and NoSQL databases.
The Problem I Solve
Slow queries that hold up your application. Migrations that nobody wants to touch. Data scattered across systems with no clear source of truth. Database problems compound over time — what starts as a minor performance issue becomes a major bottleneck that affects everything from user experience to business reporting.
I help teams get their data layer right so they can build on a solid foundation instead of working around fragile systems.
What I Do
- Query optimization — Identifying and fixing the queries that are killing your application performance
- Schema design — Data models that balance normalization, performance, and future flexibility
- Database migrations — Safe, tested migrations between platforms or major schema changes
- Architecture design — Choosing and configuring the right database(s) for your workload patterns
- Data warehouse setup — Analytical databases that give your business team the answers they need
- Performance audits — Full assessments of your current database setup with prioritized recommendations

How I Work
I bill hourly and work directly alongside your team. Database work requires careful planning and testing, so I always start with a thorough assessment before making changes. Every migration is tested in staging first, with rollback plans in place.
