Senior SQL Server help for critical environments

I help companies solve their SQL Server problems, design new solutions, improve production stability and provide senior DBA support.

20+ years supporting SQL Server in production environments where downtime affects real business operations.

Why companies bring me into difficult SQL Server work

Companies bring me in when a SQL Server problem is affecting the business or a production change carries too much risk for trial and error. I review the database together with its workload and recent changes. Then I explain what is happening, what needs attention now, and what can wait.

Diagnosis before changes

I use wait stats, blocking, query plans, job history, error logs, backup history, and workload timing to narrow the cause. I recommend a change only when the available data supports it.

The surrounding system matters

Storage, Windows, virtualization, application behaviour, maintenance, monitoring, and recent releases can all affect the same symptom. I include the relevant layers in the review, based on where the logs and timings point.

Production impact sets the order

A slow report, missed batch, failed backup, or delayed release has a business effect. I use that impact to separate urgent work from cleanup that can be planned later.

An answer your company can use

You get a plain explanation of the problem, the immediate risk, and the next practical step. That may be a focused fix, a planned review, or ongoing DBA support, depending on what the environment needs.

Experience from enterprise SQL Server environments

The way I work today comes from years spent supporting production systems, infrastructure teams, and business-critical SQL Server environments. There is no account manager or junior handoff-you work directly with the person doing the review.

Professional experience includes organisations such as:

20+

years

I have spent more than two decades around databases, infrastructure, support work, and production change.

1000+

systems

I have reviewed or supported production systems across enterprise environments, including places where downtime is not theoretical.

You work

with me

There is no account manager or junior handoff. I ask for the details, review the system, and explain the tradeoffs.

Remote work

consulting

Most work can start remotely with a clear description, logs, monitoring data, and a sensible first call.

SQL Server help I usually provide

Choose the closest situation. Each service page explains the scope in more detail, but this should get you to the right starting point.

When SQL Server needs regular attention

Use monthly support when SQL Server is important, but nobody has enough DBA time to keep checking jobs, backups, monitoring, and planned changes.
