I am a seasoned Postgres database architect specializing in architecture for data-driven processes such as ERP's, CRM's, Fintech, etc. Chances are you are not using your database nearly to the capacity it can serve you and I can fix that. I am a systems design engineer first and foremost. Writing queries (with supreme excellence) is an art form, but still only secondary to the most important element: architecture which is where I excel the most. Beyond that, I'd say my "traditional" Postgres skills (listed below) are above average as well. Fair warning: I consider databases to be first-class citizens. I have developed a very successful workflow for producing good results. It begins with patiently asking questions to understand all of the contextual needs and then going about solving them in an iterative process with lots of two-way communication along the way. I utilize a loose framework and building workflow that makes it inherently easy to change and adapt as needed. This is important because good design is never achieved in the first iteration, so making architecture amenable means it can always get better. While I can obviously help with smaller projects, its the bigger challenges such as overhauls and ground-up projects that suit me best. I excel in complex cases and situations involving higher maths, algorithms and fuzzy logic. Traditional Skills: - ETL, Migrations, Imports - Advanced Functions/Procedures - Advanced/Complicated Query writing and optimization - Custom triggers, aggregates, types, etc. - User/role/security management - Indexing - Config tuning
