Senior SQL DBA & Code Monkey
Lowell Izaguirre
Database engineer and consultant — SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and cloud data platforms — with a home lab full of monitoring, automation, and AI tooling.
With 20+ years as a Senior Database Administrator and data-platform architect, I make SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL environments faster, more secure, and easier to manage — and I do it with AI built into every step of my workflow — directed, tempered, and sharpened by two decades of hands-on development experience, so the speed of AI is always guided by the judgment of a seasoned Developer oriented DBA.
That philosophy shows up most clearly in three monitoring and management initiatives I’ve architected and built end to end, each delivering a single pane of glass across all four major engines — SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. The first is a lightweight, self-service database monitor packaged for easy install and licensing; the second is a command-deck control plane that centralizes estate-wide health, alerting, and remediation; and the third is a monitoring-and-management dashboard driven by a curated, approval-gated library of diagnostic report packs. Together they turn raw telemetry into prioritized, actionable fixes instead of alert noise.
I’ve led teams supporting 250+ servers, built automation frameworks that scan and report across 300+ instances, and developed a DBA Toolkit of 450+ reusable scripts that don’t just identify issues but almost always generate a scripted fix tailored to the environment’s metadata, instantly.
Today I serve as the SQL Server subject-matter expert for an Oracle-focused managed service provider, and I work from a Linux desktop in VS Code driving Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cline — with local models in LM Studio for private, on-prem AI — to architect, generate, and review production code at a pace a traditional DBA simply can’t match.
From tuning VLDBs for sub-second reporting and encrypting PHI at scale with Always Encrypted and secure enclaves, to shipping full-stack AI-driven monitoring products end to end, I consistently turn deep database expertise into solutions that move the business forward.
What this is
A living record of the work — a static, markdown-driven site with no database and no CMS to exploit. The navigation above mirrors the old Stormrage brain dump: test labs, SQL scripts, cloud database systems, and presentations. Pages are being migrated over one at a time.
