SQL Server and database engineering
I currently work with SQL Server 2025. Microsoft SQL Server and advanced T-SQL: stored procedures, views, table-valued functions, execution-plan analysis, index and statistics tuning, access controls, backup and restore, SQL Server Agent orchestration and production troubleshooting. Operational experience with Windows Server.
Data Engineering and integration
Data Warehouse, ODS and Data Mart architecture; relational and dimensional modelling; incremental ETL/ELT; source mappings, validation and reconciliation. Integration of ERP, payroll, inventory and third-party databases, with traceable processing, exception logging and recoverable background execution.
Microsoft Fabric, Azure and analytics
Microsoft Fabric Warehouse, Lakehouse and data pipelines; Azure data platforms and integration; semantic modelling and ontology. Power BI, DAX, Power Query, SSAS Tabular, tabular and multidimensional models, Row-Level Security, calculation groups, Tabular Editor and DAX Studio.
C#/.NET and enterprise APIs
REST APIs and .NET Worker Services for data collection, application integration and workflow automation. Background processing, dependency injection, structured logging, exception handling and integration between operational and analytical systems.
Business and financial context
Hands-on data engineering combined with subsequent Financial Controller and CFO responsibilities at Terya. Management reporting, budgeting, cost allocation, payroll reconciliation, FIFO inventory valuation and commission calculations. I connect technical data models with the accounting and operational rules behind them.
AI-enabled analytics
My skillset includes RAG, embeddings and vector search, LLM integration over governed enterprise data, context orchestration, semantic grounding and conversational analytics.
I founded Metrika Research in January 2026. I work from Italy and am interested in remote freelance engagements. Italian: native. English: fluent.
SSIS, SQL Server on Azure IaaS, partitioning, clustering/AlwaysOn and migrations have been occasional activities rather than recurring specialist assignments.

Project history
Founded Metrika Research to engineer reusable SQL Server data platforms for industrial controlling, retail and energy applications. Designs layered architectures with source ingestion, ODS, business transformations and analytical serving. Implements T-SQL routines and .NET Worker Services, with explicit run dependencies, data provenance, reconciliation and exception logging. Responsibilities include SQL platform architecture, ETL and application integration, and reliability and database operations.
Architected and operated SQL Server data platforms for finance, inventory, payroll and service operations. Implemented relational structures, T-SQL ingestion and transformation procedures, SQL Server Agent orchestration and replicated reporting environments. Integrated ERP and third-party databases through linked servers and incremental loads. Developed temporal processing for FIFO inventory valuation and commission calculations. Managed execution-plan analysis, index and statistics tuning, access controls, backup procedures and production troubleshooting. Delivered DBA and Data Warehouse assignments to customers, retaining technical ownership throughout an ERP migration and after progressing to financial management responsibilities.
