SQL Server & PostgreSQL Database Consulting

More than 15 years as a working database administrator and data platform engineer: tuning queries, planning disaster recovery, and keeping production systems fast. Not a generalist who also does databases; a DBA who also builds software.

Book a Free Database Health Check

Sound familiar?

• Reports that took seconds last year now take minutes.
• The app times out at month-end when everyone runs the same screens.
• Backups exist, but nobody has ever actually restored one.
• One table keeps growing and nobody's sure what's safe to archive.
• You're paying for a bigger server every year instead of fixing the queries.

These are the problems we fix, usually without new hardware.

What we do

• Query & index tuning: reading execution plans, fixing the queries that actually hurt, and designing indexes that pay for themselves. SQL Server and PostgreSQL.
• Disaster recovery & high availability: backup strategies that are tested, restore drills, failover plans, and honest answers about how much data you'd lose today if the server died.
• Cloud migrations: moving on-prem SQL Server and PostgreSQL workloads to AWS or Azure without surprises, or deciding when staying put is the right call.
• Reporting: SSRS and Crystal Reports development, and untangling the report that takes twenty minutes to run.
• Health checks: a structured review of configuration, performance, security, and recoverability with a prioritized fix list you can act on. Your first health check is free.

Why it matters for your software, too

Most slow applications are slow at the database. Because Watson Tech both consults on databases and builds custom software, the fix doesn't stop at the SQL layer. We can follow the problem into the application code and repair it end to end. And if you're adding AI features, a clean, well-modeled database is the difference between AI that answers correctly and AI that guesses.
