Database Architecture
Your data layer is the foundation of every system built on top of it. I design, optimize, and migrate databases that handle real-world load without compromise—from schema design through production tuning.
A well-designed database does more than store rows. It enforces business rules, enables fast queries, and scales predictably as your application grows. With over 15 years of experience working across relational and NoSQL systems, I bring a pragmatic approach to data architecture—choosing the right tool for the problem rather than defaulting to the latest trend.
Every engagement begins with understanding your data access patterns, consistency requirements, and growth trajectory. From there, I deliver schemas that are easy to reason about, queries that run fast, and infrastructure that won't wake you up at night.
