SQL Server, Azure SQL, SSRS and Power BI
Hands-on help across SQL Server, Azure SQL, SSRS and Power BI, without extra layers in between.
Senior SQL Specialist
Faster databases. Reliable reports.
Teams that move.
I help teams fix slow queries, unstable reports and complex migrations. Hands-on senior support, applied directly to your problem.
20+ years solving real systems
From small teams to busy operations
Direct senior support
Performance you can feel
Slow queries, underperforming plans, missing indexes and blocking chains. I dig into the data and tell you what to fix.
Reporting and BI
SSRS, Power BI and legacy reporting layers that need stabilizing so your team can trust the numbers again.
Who I usually help
For teams that need senior SQL judgement without overbuilding the team
When the SQL work matters, the problems are piling up, and you want someone experienced to get involved quickly.
Startups under real growth
When product, reporting and operations are leaning on a database that no longer keeps up.
SMEs with small technical teams
When the team can cover the day to day, but tougher SQL issues need senior judgement for a few days or a few weeks.
Operations and industry teams
When reporting, integrations and SQL Server jobs are part of daily operations and failures hit the business quickly.
Teams facing a migration
Moving to Azure, upgrading SQL Server or consolidating databases. You need someone who has done it before and can keep things moving.
Sound familiar?
Problems I solve every week
If any of these sound like your situation, you're in the right place.
Slow SQL queries
Reports that used to take seconds now take minutes. Users are complaining. Nobody on the team knows where to start with optimization.
SQL Server issues in production
Deadlocks, timeouts, tempdb blowing up. The DBA left and the team is firefighting every week without a clear path forward.
Reporting nobody wants to own
Older SSRS reports, tangled stored procedures and undocumented ETL logic. Everyone avoids it, but the business still depends on it.
A database design that has aged badly
The data model was designed years ago for different requirements. Now it's holding the team back and making every change painful.
Team needs senior SQL support
You have developers who can write SQL, but nobody with enough depth for the hard problems. Bringing in a full-time hire still feels early.
Migration or modernization
Moving from on-prem to cloud, upgrading SQL Server versions, or migrating between platforms, with support from someone who's done it before.
What I do
SQL and data work that solves something concrete
Help for the part that is slowing the team down or blocking the next step.
SQL Performance Tuning
Find which queries, indexes or settings are holding the system back and fix them with measurable results.
Query Optimization
Rewrite complex queries, improve stored procedures and fix access patterns that are costing time and resources.
SQL Server Troubleshooting
Diagnose and resolve production issues: deadlocks, blocking, tempdb pressure, memory and configuration.
Data Modelling and Warehousing
Design or reshape data models so reporting is easier, changes hurt less and the platform can grow.
Reporting and BI Support
Fix, maintain, or rebuild SSRS reports, Power BI data models, and the underlying query layer that feeds your dashboards.
Migration & Modernization
Plan and run database migrations: version upgrades, moving to Azure SQL or switching platforms, with a realistic view of risk.
Why work with me
Senior SQL help.
Direct, practical, accountable.
You speak to the person who looks at the problem and does the work.

03
You talk to the person doing the work
No account managers. No handoffs. The person you brief is the person who delivers. Senior from start to finish.

Less friction, earlier progress
I get into the problem quickly and start helping without turning the first weeks into a ceremony.

How it works
How we can start
We talk, look at the scope and decide what kind of support makes sense. Simple as that.
1
You describe the problem
Tell me what's going on. Slow queries, broken reports, or a stuck migration. A few sentences is enough to start.
2
I review the scope
I'll ask the right questions to understand the situation. If I can help, I'll tell you what I'd do and what it takes. If I can't, I'll say so.
3
We align on support model
Short review, focused project or ongoing support. We pick the format that fits the problem.
4
I deliver directly
No junior handoff. No black-box process. I do the work, share progress, and deliver results you can verify.
FAQ
Questions I usually get first
Short answers to help you see quickly whether this kind of support fits your situation.
Is this a fit if we're a startup or small team?
Yes. That is often when this helps most: SQL is becoming critical, but bringing in a permanent senior SQL hire still feels early.
Do you only help with SQL Server?
The core focus is SQL Server, Azure SQL, SSRS and Power BI. If your problem sits around that toolset, I can usually help or tell you quickly whether it makes sense to talk.
Can you step in for a specific problem instead of a long project?
Yes. Many engagements start with one clear issue: a slow query, a reporting problem, a migration blocker or a production incident that needs experienced hands.
What should I send in the first message?
A short summary is enough. If it helps, include urgency, the technology involved and whether the issue is already affecting users or operations.
Can you do a short audit before committing to a bigger project?
Yes. A short review is often the best place to start when you want clarity before committing to a larger piece of work.
Do you work with existing in-house teams?
Yes. Many engagements involve working alongside your developers or DBAs, reviewing their SQL, unblocking technical problems and transferring knowledge so the team gets stronger over time.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Remote by default, worldwide. On-site is available in Spain and elsewhere in Europe depending on the project.
