About Rudi

Available for quick audits, remote DBA support, or long-term coaching (on-site or remote).

Is your application slowed down by SQL Server (timeouts, saturated CPU/IO)? Is your critical infrastructure in need of security? Do you need to coach your development team?
In 2-3 days, I can provide a complete audit and action plan for measurable performance gains.

For 20 years, I've been helping teams stabilize and accelerate their SQL Server performance.

Why work with me?
  • In-depth SQL Server expertise.
  • Fast and concrete results: within 2 to 3 days of an audit, I identify the main bottlenecks and propose pragmatic actions that translate into measurable performance improvements.
  • Teaching and knowledge transfer: author of books and video courses (LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight), I help teams understand the root causes and become self-sufficient.
  • Flexible support: one-off intervention for critical incidents, outsourced DBA for regular monitoring, or custom coaching for developers and DBAs.

What I can do for you:

  • **Performance Audits**: Server/VM configuration, indexes, T-SQL → prioritized action plan.
  • **Administration**: Backups, security, high availability, alerts → worry-free remote DBA.
  • **T-SQL Optimization**: Query redesign, anti-patterns → 2x faster application.
  • **Architecture**: SQL vs. NoSQL, modeling → sustainable choices.
  • **In-house Training**: Administration/SQL/optimization → self-sufficient teams.

Contact me to discuss your situation: with a few questions, I can tell you if a short intervention is sufficient or if longer-term support is preferable.
