  • Improve database performance through indexing strategies, statistics management, and query tuning.
  • Investigate workload behaviour and recommend architectural improvements.

Data Access & Systems Thinking

  • Provide guidance on scalable approaches for retrieving and delivering data for data-intensive application features.
  • Recommend architectural strategies such as data aggregation, caching, or pre-computed datasets where appropriate.
  • Apply systems thinking to improve how data is modeled, accessed, and delivered across the application.

Advanced Diagnostics

  • Diagnose database behaviour using tools such as Query Store, Extended Events, and execution plan analysis.
  • Analyze query performance, wait statistics, and workload patterns to identify optimization opportunities.

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

  • Partner with engineering teams to guide scalable SQL development and data access practices.
  • Participate in architecture and design discussions involving database interactions.
  • Document best practices and architectural recommendations.
