Performance Tuner:
Hi, I look at the performance perspective of the application. This can be the tuning of SQL statements, pushing logic close to the data, or setting up pre-calculated materialized views or low-latency caching - if it can speed up the application, it’s my responsibility to see if we can use it.

Finance Management (Director, Controller, VP):
Hi, I’m a leader in the office of the CFO. I’m often looking for ways to make the organization more efficient and modern. I have a team that handles the day-to-day but I want to hear from someone who understands the challenges I face and who can talk to me about solutions.
