I specialise in SQL Databases with a strong emphasis on precision, speed, and zero bloat and pioneering AI driven automation. Whether it's a legacy database migration to the cloud or AI automation of complex operations I will deliver a solution that is cost-efficient, reduces risk and drives efficiency.

See this recent blog on how to implement flexible and robust automated content moderation for cents on the dollar of traditional SaaS providers like Hive as an example.
