SQL Server is the backbone of enterprise data systems, but getting it right requires deep expertise. From database design and complex queries to performance optimization and reporting, I provide the SQL Server knowledge that ensures your data systems are reliable, fast, and maintainable.
With 29 years of SQL Server experience across financial services, insurance, and manufacturing, I’ve designed schemas for complex business domains, optimized queries handling millions of rows, and built reporting systems that deliver actionable insights.
Database Design & Architecture
Proper normalization, intelligent indexing strategies, referential integrity, and schema design that reflects your business domain. I design databases that are maintainable, performant, and scalable.
Complex Query Development
Multi-table joins, subqueries, window functions, recursive CTEs for hierarchical data, and pivots for reporting. I write queries that are both performant and readable.
Performance Optimization
Query tuning, index optimization, execution plan analysis, and query refactoring. Find and fix the bottlenecks slowing down your applications.
Stored Procedures & Functions
Business logic implemented in T-SQL with proper error handling, transaction management, and parameter validation. Reusable, maintainable server-side code.
SSRS Reporting
SQL Server Reporting Services design and development. Complex reports with parameters, drill-downs, grouping, and subscriptions for automated distribution.
Data Migration & ETL
Moving data between systems, transforming legacy formats, and consolidating multiple sources. SSIS packages or custom T-SQL solutions depending on requirements.
Database Administration Support
Backup strategies, maintenance plans, security configuration, and performance monitoring. While not a full-time DBA, I provide the expertise to support your operations.
SQL Server Versions
Extensive experience with SQL Server 2008 through 2022. Cloud-based Azure SQL Database and on-premise installations.
Advanced T-SQL
Recursive CTEs for hierarchical data, window functions, temporary tables vs. table variables, dynamic SQL when appropriate, and query optimization techniques.
Integration Services (SSIS)
Package development for complex ETL workflows, error handling, and logging. Both through SSIS designer and custom T-SQL approaches.
Reporting Services (SSRS)
Report design, parameter handling, subscriptions, and delivery. Integration with web applications and automated distribution.
Performance Tools
Execution plan analysis, DMVs for performance monitoring, SQL Profiler for troubleshooting, and index tuning recommendations.
Hierarchical Commission Calculations
Recursive CTEs to traverse multi-level agent relationships and calculate commission splits. Complex business rules implemented in stored procedures with comprehensive validation.
High-Volume Data Processing
Optimized queries and indexing strategies for tables with millions of rows. Set-based operations instead of cursors, proper indexing, and partition strategies.
Complex Financial Reporting
SSRS reports with parameters, drill-down capabilities, and automated subscriptions. GL account hierarchies, multi-currency support, and period comparisons.
Data Quality & Validation
Stored procedures that implement business rules, check data integrity, and generate exception reports. Automated validation for nightly data loads.
Legacy Database Modernization
Refactoring old database designs, eliminating technical debt, and improving performance while maintaining compatibility with existing applications.
Performance at Scale
Poorly designed databases or inefficient queries can bring your business to a halt. Proper design and optimization keep systems running smoothly as data grows.
Data Integrity
Constraints, foreign keys, and validation rules prevent bad data from entering your system. Catch problems at the database level instead of in application code.
Maintainable Systems
Well-designed schemas and documented queries make systems easier to maintain and enhance. Reduce technical debt and long-term costs.
Business Logic in the Right Place
Complex calculations and business rules often belong in the database layer. Stored procedures ensure consistency across applications and improve performance.
Reliable Reporting
Good reporting starts with good database design. Properly structured data makes reporting easier, faster, and more accurate.
Assessment (1 week)
Review current database design, query performance, and business requirements. Identify issues, opportunities, and priorities.
Design (1-3 weeks)
Create or refine database schema, design queries and stored procedures, and plan optimization strategies. Review and validate with your team.
Implementation (2-8 weeks)
Execute the design: schema changes, query development, stored procedure creation, and testing. Iterative refinement based on performance testing and feedback.
Optimization & Documentation
Performance tuning, index optimization, and comprehensive documentation. Knowledge transfer to your development or operations team.
