Performance Tuning
14 achievements
- Engineered hourly electricity consumption aggregation pipeline in Python / SQL / Bash + Jq, achieving 180ms for 30‑day datasets across heterogeneous JSONL sources.
- Accelerated geographical data pipeline performance by 50x by improving SQL programming and data modeling across PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Google Cloud BigQuery.
- Improved geographical map application performance by 10x through strategic database transition from MSSQL to PostgreSQL, optimizing processing and data security.
- Resolved 1,000 issues in geographical data and time‑series data, using GDAL, ArcGIS, PostGIS, Mapbox, QGIS, SQL (PL/pgSQL, Transact‑SQL), Bash, ensuring high‑quality big data processing.
- Architected, created, and managed 100 PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Google BigQuery data warehouse databases with primarily GIS and time‑series data, optimizing performance and scalability.
- Designed, deployed, and maintained 10 PostgreSQL and MS SQL servers on Ubuntu Linux VPS, ensuring optimal server performance and reliability.
- Accelerated PostgreSQL performance by 10x via strategic indexing, partitioning, and query optimization, enhancing database efficiency for user, tenant, geospatial, and time‑series electrical data.
- Engineered 600 PL/pgSQL‑based ETL/ELT pipelines to streamline complex data processing workflows across multiple PostgreSQL development and production environments.
- Designed a JSON passthrough architecture where PostgreSQL functions return complete JSON forwarded verbatim by the Go API, eliminating intermediate unmarshalling and decoupling the frontend from schema changes.
- Adopted UUID v7 time‑ordered identifiers (PostgreSQL 18) as entity keys to reduce B‑tree index fragmentation and speed up queries.
- Modeled the maritime domain into 348 normalized tables across 34 PostgreSQL schemas — professionals, companies, ships, jobs, reviews and the rest — with SMALLINT lookups and UUID v7 keys.
- Moved slow work off the request path onto a River job queue — 15 worker modules, 8 scheduled tasks and 20 pg_cron jobs — so a request returns while the work behind it carries on.
- Built first‑party product analytics in PostgreSQL — 47 functions over partitioned event tables that prune themselves — pseudonymised behind a rotating salt and gated on the visitor's consent.
- Built the loyalty and reputation system — 67 functions over a 31‑table ledger, with leagues, badges and a redemption shop — taking a row lock on the balance to close the double‑spend window.
This work is part of what we offer as Database Design & Modeling, Database Performance Tuning, Data Pipeline Development (ETL/ELT), Data Governance & Quality, Database Administration (DBA), GIS & Geospatial Solutions, Backend & API Development and Data Analytics & BI Dashboards.
