Expert SQL Server optimization that cuts infrastructure costs, accelerates response times, and makes your application bulletproof under load.
Execution plan analysis, index strategy, rewriting inefficient queries and eliminating table scans that kill response times.
Parameter sniffing fixes, temp table strategies, reducing recompilation and improving plan cache utilization across your database.
Replacing scalar UDFs that serialize execution, restructuring views for sargable predicates and better optimizer choices.
Identifying missing, duplicate, and bloated indexes. Building covering index strategies that balance read speed with write overhead.
Diagnosing workloads that are over-provisioned in CPU, memory, or I/O — so you pay only for what you genuinely need.
Tracing blocking chains, fixing locking contention, and hardening transaction logic so your application handles load without incident.
Share your top slow queries or describe symptoms. I'll identify the root causes and estimate the gains available — no commitment needed.
Prioritized list of changes ranked by impact vs effort. You decide what to tackle first — quick wins or structural improvements.
I rewrite, refactor and test everything in a staging environment before touching production. Full version-controlled delivery.
Before/after benchmarks, execution plan comparisons, and a written summary of every change made and why it works.
End-users experience dramatically snappier interfaces when the database stops being the bottleneck — measurable at the application layer.
Optimized queries consume fewer DTUs, vCores, and IOPs — translating directly into smaller Azure SQL or AWS RDS bills every month.
Blocking and deadlock incidents that caused production outages — resolved at the root, not just patched with timeouts.
I've spent over 20 years working at the intersection of SQL Server and real business problems — from automotive industry platforms handling millions of transactions to customer experience systems where every millisecond of latency affects retention.
I don't optimize in theory. I've owned the production databases, handled the 3am incidents, and delivered the performance reports to the board. I know what actually matters.
Multi-million row order management systems — optimized inventory queries from 45s to sub-second across dealer network reporting.
Customer experience and loyalty platforms — refactored 300+ stored procedures, eliminated blocking chains that caused checkout failures under load.
Cloud migration projects — right-sized SQL Azure tiers by reducing DTU consumption 60%, saving clients thousands per month without code rewrites.
High-availability architectures — designed locking strategies and transaction scopes that eliminated deadlock loops across multi-tenant systems.
No commitment. Results within 48 hours.
