Nobody wants to tune queries by hand anymore.
I teach developers and DBAs to let AI run the queries, read the plans, and test the fixes on your own databases. In exchange for money.
Cool! Where are those ten seconds going?
AI can go find out. Your team decides if it should.
Two ways to learn it
Work With Your Databases the Way I Do
Video course, about 6.5 hours
You already ask AI about your queries. Then you copy, paste, and hope. I show you how I work now: AI runs the queries, reads the plans, tests the rewrites, and checks its own work.
AI for Database Teams Workshop
One day, on-site or remote
Built around your own queries, plans, and schema. Your team keeps everything from the day: the scripts, the instructions file, the skill, the permission rules, and the hook. 30 days of email support afterwards. See what we cover.
Your team becomes the product manager
AI runs its own queries
Your team learns to set AI up so it runs its own queries, reads your monitoring data and execution plans, reproduces problems, and tests the fixes.
The agents are a copy of your team
Their rights, their reservations, and their restrictions. The agents work the way your team would, and can’t change anything your team wouldn’t let them.
You decide what’s worth doing
Stop thinking of yourself as your job title. The database is the product, and you manage the agents that work on it. Is 30 seconds down to 10 good enough? Which problem do they start on next? That’s your call.
I use AI agents every day to build and test my own software, under rules I wrote to keep them correct, safe, and cheap.
Start for free
Open source tools I build and use. They run on your own servers, and your data never leaves your network.
Still need a slow server fixed?
I still do that too: Performance Investigation, Monthly Performance Retainer, AI Readiness Assessment, and all consulting options.
