MSSQL Database Administrator with expertise in performance optimization.
United KingdomI am a dedicated MSSQL Database Administrator with a strong foundation in database management, configuration, and performance optimization. My journey began with six years in third-party application support, where I honed my skills in SQL Server functionality. In January 2023, I transitioned into a dedicated SQL Server Database Administrator role, managing a large SQL Server estate across both on-premises and cloud environments.
Collaboration is at the heart of my approach, as I work closely with Software Developers, Data Engineers, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable database solutions. I am passionate about streamlining workflows through automation and continuously seek opportunities to refine processes, ensuring databases remain secure and high-performing. My key achievements include co-leading a mass migration of the SQL Server estate to new hardware and implementing automated failover procedures, which significantly enhanced system reliability.
