Database developer with ten years building the data layer behind transactional and reporting systems for logistics and SaaS companies in Montreal. Lives in SQL — designing schemas, writing the stored procedures and views, and tuning the queries that decide whether an application feels fast or painful. Re-engineered a reporting layer that turned multi-minute queries into sub-second ones and cut database load across the platform. Designs normalised and denormalised schemas as the use case demands, builds robust procedures and ETL, and obsesses over execution plans and indexing. Pragmatic about performance and careful about data integrity. Looking for a senior database-developer role with a company whose product genuinely lives or dies on its data layer.

Highlights
Minutes to sub-second
Re-engineered a reporting layer that turned multi-minute queries into sub-second ones and cut database load across the platform. Query speed is what users actually feel, so a change like that quietly improves every screen built on top.
Integrity by design
Enforces data integrity through careful schema design, constraints and transactions so the application can trust the database. Building correctness into the data layer prevents whole categories of bugs further up the stack.
Reporting Layer Rebuild
