You will get a Comprehensive dbt Health Check and Performance Optimization Audit.

Project details
Is your dbt project suffering from "spaghetti code," slow run times, or skyrocketing warehouse costs? I provide a deep-dive technical audit designed to restore your data platform's performance and reliability.
What this project delivers:
Performance Audit: Deep analysis of models to identify redundant joins and circular dependencies.
SQL Optimization: Refactoring complex logic and materialization strategies to slash Redshift compute costs.
Architecture Review: Evaluation of your staging layers and dimensional modeling for long-term maintainability.
Reliability Framework: Implementation of automated testing and SQLFluff linting to ensure production-grade code quality.
You will receive a 5-page audit report and a strategic refactoring roadmap to transform your messy dbt environment into a scalable, enterprise-grade data stack.

About James
Engineer & Consultant | Software - Data - AI
Ponte de Lima, Portugal - 7:27 pm local time
What I build:
- Websites & Web Apps: Marketing sites, dashboards, portals, and SaaS products. Clean, fast, built to convert.
- Custom Business Software: Internal tools, booking systems, CRMs, inventory management, whatever your operations need.
- AI Agents & Automation: Intelligent assistants that handle customer inquiries, process documents, qualify leads, or automate repetitive workflows.
- Integrations: Connecting your tools (Stripe, calendars, CRMs, APIs) so data flows without manual work.
My approach:
I start by understanding the business problem, not jumping to code. The best solution is often simpler than you think, and I'll tell you if something can be done with off-the-shelf tools before recommending custom development.
When custom is the right call, I build software that's maintainable, documented, and designed to grow with you. No mystery code that only I can touch.
Tech stack: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, n8n, Make.
Whether you need a one-time build or an ongoing technical partner, I'm happy to discuss what you're trying to accomplish.

Discovery & Access Review
I will verify access to your data stack and perform an initial scan of your dbt lineage graph to identify high-level "spaghetti code" patterns.
Deep-Dive Technical Audit
I will analyze production models for circular dependencies, redundant joins, and inefficient materialization strategies.
