๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, I'm Sana Ullah

Senior Database Administrator โ€ข Backend Engineer โ€ข Systems Architect | 20+ years in Software & Data Engineering


About Me

Iโ€™m a results-driven Senior Database Administrator with over 8 years of hands-on SQL Server experience and more than 20 years in application, backend, and distributed systems engineering.

I focus on building and maintaining secure, high-availability, and high-performance data platforms that power mission-critical enterprise systems, especially within financial and ERP-driven environments..

With a strong foundation in both database internals and modern application architecture, I enjoy helping teams modernize legacy integrations and evolve them into scalable, service-oriented solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and built for growth.

  • Advanced T-SQL (CTEs, EXISTS, OPENJSON, set-based logic)
  • SQL-driven automation & ETL-style workflows
  • RESTful API design

๐Ÿ“Œ Philosophy

  • Databases are systems, not just storage
  • Performance is a design decision, not a last-minute fix
  • Security must be built-in, not bolted-on
  • Code should be understandable by the next engineer
  • Reliability > cleverness

Above all... I value clarity, correctness, and operational safety over shortcuts.
