Data architectures that stay fast as you grow

Whether you’re refactoring a legacy system or launching greenfield functionality, I’ll help you design data foundations that stay reliable under pressure.

Purpose-built schemas

Model data around business workflows to reduce complexity and unlock faster iteration across teams.

Operational excellence

Backups, failover, and observability built-in so data incidents become rare and recoverable.

Cloud ready

Managed database services, infrastructure-as-code, and automation to keep environments consistent across regions.

Core capabilities

  • Relational schema design with normalization where it matters
  • NoSQL modelling for high-throughput and flexible schemas
  • Query profiling, indexing strategies, and performance tuning
  • Data migration planning, dry runs, and cutover support
  • Backup, retention, and disaster recovery workflows
  • Security hardening, encryption, and access governance
  • Data warehousing and analytics pipelines
  • Documentation and onboarding for ongoing maintenance
