Cole, Chaitman LLP, New York NY “With Charlie’s expert knowledge of SQL as well as AIR and RMS software he was able to create and support a powerful suite of in-house applications that were pivotal to our portfolio management and reporting. " -- Stas Golubenko, Vice President – Property Treaty Reinsurance Underwriter SCOR “Charlie worked as a part-time consultant for us for two years. He is a highly skilled data analyst with decades of experience, and he particularly excels at the most difficult and messy tasks. In particular, he built a system to extract data from a vendor’s internal database and create an entire reporting system that the vendor was unable to provide. This system is now an integral part of our workflow. I highly recommend Charlie for any level of work.” -- Daniel Korovikov, Psy.D, Director of Analytics, Astor Services for Children & Families, Bronx NY ----------------- SERVICES: (1) Database Architecture: Build your database with a rock-solid foundation Good table design means your database can expand as large as you need while maintaining optimal performance. I can help you build a world-class database solution, or redesign what you have into something faster and more durable. (2) SQL Development: Quickly develop the tools you need to work with your data SQL programming is the only way to retrieve and report the contents of your database. I’ve been working with all the intricacies of SQL for 20 years. I can quickly and efficiently write the SQL you need for reporting, ETL, or ad-hoc query engines. (3) Performance Tuning: Optimize your database for sub-second response times Adjustments to your tables, indexes, hardware and SQL code can often provide enormous improvements in query response times. Performance tuning is my favorite task – let me use my years of experience to help you get the sub-second response times you deserve. (4) Data Migration / ETL: Smoothly migrate from one database to another Moving data from one platform to another, or changing table structures, is a tricky endeavor. Every situation requires a unique analysis and solution. I can help plan and execute your ETL or migration effort to minimize downtime and ensure data integrity. (5) Database-Intensive Websites: Build beautiful apps and websites that front massive databases Creating elegant user front-ends that access millions of rows of data is not like building a static WordPress site. You need ad-hoc query tools, fast response times and minimized web traffic. I can supplement my work with a front-end design team that I organize and lead.
