Summary
Alan Burstein is a Lead Database Architect with over two decades of deep expertise in T-SQL, Microsoft BI, and high-performance OLTP and OLAP systems, currently driving OCC’s Encore to Ovation migration. He’s a proven performance-tuning specialist who routinely turns minute- or hour-long queries and ETL jobs into millisecond executions and has applied that craft across enterprises like CVS, Northern Trust and Microsoft/Google cloud projects. Alan blends data-warehouse design (Kimball), advanced NLP and custom string-similarity algorithms, and production-grade SQL/CLR libraries to solve messy text and entity-resolution problems far faster than off-the-shelf tools. He’s led teams and mentored engineers while codifying T-SQL best practices and building reusable function libraries that shrink code and runtime by orders of magnitude. Active in the SQL community and user groups, he also invents novel self-optimizing functions and home-grown tooling for performance diagnostics. Based in Chicago, he combines rare hands-on tuning chops with architect-level design to deliver auditable, high-throughput data platforms.
