“Igor is a tremendous asset to our company. He has decades of experience in data architecture, database administration, and business. In addition to deep expertise in PostgreSQL and Oracle, he also brings a world of knowledge around the latest technologies, such as network/graph databases and big data among others. He's a few notches above the senior DBA level because of his skill with OPS Automation, i.e. AWS, GCP, etc., his in depth knowledge of operating system / DB system interplay and his contribution to strategic problem solving. He can architect any required business data solution. The most valuable trait we receive from Igor is his executive level, "own it" approach. Before Igor, our strategy relied on outsourced DBA services and some internal operational support to handle our DBA requirements. Even though we believed we had a cost effective strategy our productivity was extremely low. And strategic initiatives, as opposed to tactical tasks, simply did not get done. Igor changed that instantly when he joined our company. Igor and I meet to discuss the challenges of the business, define solutions, set priorities, and go! that's it. He owns it, and gets it done. He handles vendor relationships, contributes individually where necessary and at the highest level, and provides recommendations to me on engineering direction. That's productivity and value at the executive level !! ”
