I am looking for an experienced SQL Server DBA who can step in daily and keep our production environment running smoothly on SQL Server 2019. The databases you will touch are all relational and mission-critical, so deep, hands-on knowledge of T-SQL, SSMS, DMVs and standard performance-tuning techniques is essential. Your focus areas will be: • Database maintenance and optimization – index and statistics management, query tuning, health checks, baselining and alerting. • Backup and disaster-recovery planning – setting up and validating full and differential strategies, log shipping or Always On availability groups, and running periodic restore tests. • Database security and user management – hardening surface area, managing roles and permissions, auditing changes, and enforcing compliance with our existing security policies. I will provide VPN access to the servers, an agreed task list each morning, and a shared dashboard to track completed work. Expected response time during business hours is under 30 minutes for critical alerts, with non-urgent tasks finished by end of day. Clean documentation of every change in our Git-tracked runbook closes each task. If you have a proven track record as a SQL Server 2019 DBA and are comfortable owning the areas above without constant supervision, let’s talk and set up a brief technical screening.

I’m an experienced SQL Server DBA with hands-on production support on SQL Server 2019, and I can start covering your daily maintenance, DR, and security needs right away. On the maintenance side, I regularly handle index/statistics management, query tuning via execution plans and DMVs, and proactive health checks with alerting thresholds tuned to avoid noise. For backup and DR, I’ve built and validated full/differential/log backup strategies, set up log shipping and Always On AGs, and run scheduled restore drills so recovery actually works when it’s needed — not just on paper. On security, I harden surface area, manage roles/permissions on least-privilege principles, and maintain audit trails for compliance reviews. I’m comfortable working independently off a daily task list, hitting sub-30-minute response times on critical alerts, and documenting every change in a Git-tracked runbook as part of closing the task — not as an afterthought. Happy to do a short technical screening so you can validate depth before committing to ongoing work.

Hello, I am interested in this SQL Server DBA support project. I currently work professionally with Microsoft SQL Server in an ERP environment, where I work with relational databases, T-SQL queries, stored procedures, database troubleshooting, reporting, indexing and performance-related issues. Your requirements around SQL Server 2019, T-SQL, SSMS, query tuning, indexes/statistics, database health and backup/maintenance are closely aligned with my current database experience. I can assist with: * T-SQL query analysis and optimization * Stored procedure troubleshooting * Index and query performance analysis * Execution plan analysis * Database health checks * Index/statistics maintenance * SQL Server monitoring and troubleshooting * Backup/restore verification * Database documentation and change tracking * ERP-related database issues and reporting One point I want to be transparent about: I currently have a full-time role, so my regular availability is during the evening/night (approximately 9 PM–12 AM IST). I would therefore be best suited for scheduled/non-urgent DBA tasks, performance tuning, maintenance, troubleshooting and documentation rather than a role requiring immediate daytime response within 30 minutes. If evening support is acceptable for your requirements, I would be happy to complete a technical screening and demonstrate my SQL Server experience. Thank you.

Why I'm the best fit for this role: I hold a degree in Computational Physics (Fizică Informatică), where mathematical rigor, system modeling, and data integrity were central to my background. This analytical approach translates directly into proactive database administration, precise query tuning, and zero-downtime maintenance on SQL Server 2019. Here is how I will manage your SQL Server production environment: Maintenance & Performance Optimization: I rely on targeted DMV queries, query store analysis, and index/statistics maintenance to identify bottlenecks, eliminate deadlocks, and establish clear baseline metrics. Backup & High Availability (HA/DR): Full experience configuring and validating backup strategies (Full/Diff/Log), log shipping, and Always On Availability Groups, alongside routine restore verification to guarantee SLA compliance. Security & Compliance: Hardening SQL Server surface area, enforcing Least Privilege access (RBAC), auditing changes, and maintaining tight security compliance. Incident Response & Operations: Ready to adhere to your <30 min response time for critical alerts during business hours, with all changes documented cleanly via your Git-tracked runbook. Which monitoring tools (e.g., SQL Sentry, Redgate, native SQL Agent alerts) do you currently have configured for your instance baselining? I am ready for the technical screening and can start immediately upon VPN access.
