## About

```text
At Minfy Technologies, I’m migrating an enterprise SQL Server stored-procedure estate to PostgreSQL for a US hospitality-tech client, consolidating fragmented databases into isolated schemas. I also built an AI-assisted validation workflow using Model Context Protocol servers to automate schema comparisons and execution-parity checks.

At Arrise Solutions (Pragmatic Play Live), I designed and maintained SQL Server and PostgreSQL solutions for a 40TB+ live-casino production footprint. I cut stored-procedure runtimes by 83% and reduced query latency by 40% through refactoring, index tuning, and table partitioning.

My earlier work includes increasing payment batch throughput by 35% at MRI Software and delivering SQL Server-to-PostgreSQL migrations at DXC Technology. At Hexaware Technologies, I migrated analytical workloads to Snowflake and optimized reporting queries for a healthcare enterprise.
