About Harsh
DBA Consultant | Azure/AWS | Cloud Migration Expert | Performance Tune
Delhi, India - 7:37 am local time
I've solved these exact problems — repeatedly — across IBM, HCL, and TCS, for enterprises in banking, healthcare, retail, and media. With 13+ years of hands-on database engineering experience, I don't just administer databases. I make them faster, more resilient, cloud-ready and building the rock-solid HA/DR solutions.
what I specialize in
⚡ SQL Server Performance Tuning
I diagnose and eliminate root causes of slow queries, blocking chains, and resource bottlenecks. From execution plan analysis to index overhauls, I've cut query times by up to 80% on high-traffic production systems.
☁️ Cloud Migration (On-Prem → Azure / AWS)
I lead end-to-end SQL Server migrations to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure VM, AWS EC2 and AWS RDS — from assessment, Schema Conversion, POC and sizing through cutover and post-migration validation, with minimal downtime and zero data loss.
🔒 High Availability & Disaster Recovery
Always-On AG, Log Shipping, Failover Clustering, Replication — I design HA/DR architectures that give businesses real resilience, not just checkbox compliance.
