Consulting Services

Beyond audits — hands-on consulting

For larger projects, I work on hourly or project-based engagements.

SQL Server Performance Optimisation

I diagnose and fix database bottlenecks that other people can't find. This includes execution plan analysis, index redesign, stored procedure refactoring, and query rewriting for complex reporting workloads. Typical results: 50–95% reduction in query execution times.

  • Comprehensive execution plan analysis
  • Index strategy design and consolidation
  • Stored procedure refactoring for performance
  • Database schema optimisation for high-volume systems
  • Performance monitoring setup with actionable alerts

C#/.NET Backend Development

Modern .NET backend systems built for performance and maintainability. I specialise in data processing pipelines, regulatory automation, and legacy system modernisation.

  • RESTful API development with ASP.NET Core
  • Data processing pipelines for batch and real-time workloads
  • Dapper and Entity Framework data access layers
  • Legacy .NET Framework to modern .NET migration
  • Unit testing, CI/CD pipeline setup (Azure DevOps)

Regulatory Reporting Automation

I've built SFTR, SEC, and MiFID II reporting systems that process thousands of transactions daily with zero compliance violations. I automate what your team currently does manually.

  • SFTR reporting automation and optimisation
  • SEC / FINRA securities lending report generation
  • MiFID II transaction reporting
  • Data validation frameworks and reconciliation
  • Audit trail generation and compliance documentation

System Integration

Connecting disparate systems reliably — ETL pipelines, message queues, API integrations, and file-based data exchange for mission-critical workflows.

  • ETL pipeline development for data warehousing
  • API integration between internal and third-party systems
  • Message queue implementation (RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus)
  • File-based integration with validation and error handling
  • Integration monitoring and alerting frameworks

Database Design & Architecture

I design SQL Server databases that are built right from day one — properly normalised, indexed for your real query patterns, and documented so your team can maintain them without me. I've designed schemas for systems handling 10,000+ daily transactions under regulatory scrutiny, where a bad design isn't just slow — it's a compliance risk.

  • Schema design with proper normalisation (3NF/BCNF, with practical denormalisation where needed)
  • ER diagrams, data dictionaries, and full technical documentation
  • Index strategy designed around your actual query patterns
  • Security model: roles, permissions, row-level security
  • Migration scripts from existing data sources (Excel, Access, CSV, other databases)
  • Backup, maintenance, and disaster recovery planning

Not sure which option fits?

Email me with a brief description of your situation. I'll reply within 24 hours with an honest recommendation — even if it's "you don't need me."
