I am a senior database, data-platform and integration specialist with more than 30 years of experience designing, developing, migrating, integrating, optimizing and supporting data-intensive systems.
My core expertise is Microsoft SQL Server, T-SQL, data modelling, data warehousing, ETL, business intelligence, reporting, application integration and data migration. I combine deep technical experience with analytical thinking, structured problem-solving and a strong focus on reliability, maintainability and business value.

Trading & Investment Research Systems
Practical experience with professional trading platforms, financial-data services and specialist investment-research tools. I design structured workflows for data collection, screening, scoring, technical and fundamental analysis, catalyst monitoring, risk management and trade-decision support.
