Hi, I'm Kristen

I'm a database engineer with 11+ years of experience designing, optimizing, and modernizing SQL Server and cloud data systems. I work primarily in healthcare, fintech, and government data environments β€” places where performance, data integrity, and security really matter.

What I focus on

  • πŸ”§ Performance tuning β€” query optimization, index strategy, execution plan analysis
  • πŸ—οΈ Database development β€” stored procedures, schemas, data modeling
  • ☁️ Cloud & migrations β€” Snowflake, Azure, AWS, legacy-to-cloud modernization
  • πŸ“Š BI & reporting β€” SSRS, SSIS, Tableau, Matillion
  • πŸ”’ Secure data work β€” PII / PHI environments, OWASP-aware development

Tech I work with

T-SQL SQL Server (2008 R2 β†’ 2022) Snowflake Azure AWS C# .NET Core PowerShell SSRS SSIS Matillion Git Azure DevOps

Recent work

  • Consolidated 4 legacy databases into a single modern system β€” zero downtime, 150 GB of storage overhead eliminated
  • Migrated an enterprise data warehouse to Snowflake using Matillion as the ELT layer
  • 25% improvement in query response times across analytics and reporting systems

What's next
