I’m a native Californian based out of Los Angeles. My mission revolves around creating the right solution for the customer, as I don’t believe there’s such thing as a purist “one size fits all” solution for everyone. In order to accomplish this goal, I’ve found it takes a combination of listening closely to the customer’s needs then aligning that vision with a technical solution that will not only facilitate the client’s current objective, but provide a platform to take them well into the future.My technical background involves working with SQL Server for 15 years. I understand its products and internals very well. In my past experiences, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t work. I am confident I can put you in touch with the right solution for the job.From a design perspective, I have over 12 years experience in Data Architecture. This includes Data Warehousing, Reporting Setups, Rules Engines and Schema designs and application interfaces. My methodologies center around modular designs that have minimal points of failure with minimal footprint. I believe in designing systems that move data as quickly as possible with the smallest impact on the source system.From an optimization perspective, my specialties include strong T-SQL skills and an excellent understanding of the internals of SQL Server 2000 through SQL 2017. I have optimized many SQL Servers for all companies I have worked for and quickly (within days) made dramatic improvements in the throughput of the systems. I have extensive knowledge in SQL Server’s query optimizer and the options it chooses for generating query plans including statistical samples, join algorithms, and index selection. I have also taken two advanced Microsoft Employee level SQL Server 2005 classes specializing in query optimization.Specialties: Data Science, Elasticsearch, Neo4j, Data Architecture, Data Warehouse Design, Database administration, N-Tier troubleshooting and design, Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
