  • Deal with issues from logical representation of the execution plan to efficient resource management, all the way down to highly specialized vectorized execution
  • Evaluate and determine priorities with a critical understanding of where performance matters most
  • Design and implement critical high-performance systems to handle the ever growing request rate of our database
  • Own the end to end delivery of your projects, from identifying a solution, to design, implementation, testing and safe production rollout
  • Evangelize best practices in database usage and end-to-end architecture
