Database Administration, Design & Performance Optimization Expert

I help organizations manage, scale, and modernize large database environments — including deployments totaling hundreds of terabytes of data.

My core services include:

Database design and schema optimization
Performance tuning and query optimization
Large-scale data migrations and platform modernization
Data export/import pipelines and ETL workflows
Indexing strategies and storage optimization
High-availability and backup planning
Troubleshooting slow or unstable systems
Documentation and long-term maintainability

What sets me apart:

Experience with both legacy and modern platforms
Proven success with very large datasets
Practical, business-focused solutions (not academic theory)
Clear communication and thorough documentation
Security-conscious, scalable designs

Whether you’re migrating off legacy systems, consolidating databases, or tuning production workloads, I deliver clean, efficient, and future-ready data solutions.

    Franz helped me to set up Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection when the client laptop and the host PC are on different networks. He addressed a problem related to my router dynamic IP address set up. This consultant is the subject matter expert, he has very good communication skills, and his services are cost effected. I am completely satisfied with his services and recommend him for hire.

    Franz was punctual and very helpful. He went beyond the scope of the work required and was happy to answer his cell phone even late at night.
