Are you looking for an experienced database (PostgreSQL and MySQL) engineer/administrator who can help you optimise your database queries, tune your database servers, and scale your database cluster for high availability and throughput? Look no further.
I am the founder of Gotedo Platform (the largest technology platform for churches and Christians (https://about.gotedo.com). I am a senior backend engineer with 9+ years of software engineering and database management experience, and I consider myself an expert in MySQL and PostgreSQL. I have worked with databases with hundreds of tables and millions of records.
A poorly designed schema or inefficient query can bring your entire system to a halt. I have deep, long-term experience in relational database management, especially PostgreSQL and MySQL.
✅ What This Service Includes:
- Expert Database Design: I will architect your database schema from scratch or migrate your existing schema, crafting tables for maximum referential integrity and performance. I utilize advanced entities like tables, views/materialized views, partitioned tables, and Common Table Expressions (CTEs).
- Advanced Query Optimization: I often prefer raw SQL queries to ORM methods for maximum query control and performance. I have extensive experience crafting highly optimized SQL queries for complex analytics. At Gotedo, I wrote queries for over 30 analytical charts covering more than 100 datasets.
- Performance Tuning: I can tune your PostgreSQL server settings for maximum performance based on your specific hardware and workload.
- High Availability & Disaster Recovery: I understand how to set up PostgreSQL and MySQL for high availability and replication. I can implement robust Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) strategies by managing Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and setting up twice-daily database dumps and WAL archiving.
- Reactive Database Programming: I understand how to use triggers for reactive database operations, allowing the database itself to enforce complex business logic.
✅ My Proven Expertise:
- I have deep understanding of database migration strategies, indexing, and performance optimization. I have written thousands of idempotent migration and seeding scripts in my career.
- My experience extends to managing database pooling (PgBouncer) and setting up robust firewall rules to protect database servers.
- I have also built resilient and performant queue systems using PostgreSQL itself, demonstrating my ability to push the database beyond simple data storage.
✅ Technology Stack:
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite.
- Tooling: PgBouncer.
- Languages: SQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang.
Don't let your database be your bottleneck. Hire an expert who understands database architecture from the schema design up to high-availability server administration. I will ensure your database is a fast, reliable, and secure foundation for your application.
