Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Wickham is a DevSecOps and Gen-AI Systems Lead with over a decade of hands-on experience as a SQL Server DBA who has steadily moved from deep database administration into automation, security-conscious DevOps, and generative AI. He combines strong PowerShell scripting and testing discipline—demonstrated by meaningful contributions to the widely used dbatools project—with practical production experience running SQL Server estates for a major insurer. Known for driving reliability through automation and comprehensive test coverage, he brings an operator’s eye to platform hardening and migration work while exploring GenAI to accelerate tooling and workflows. Based in Uniontown, Ohio, he balances technical rigor with real-world constraints from long tenure in enterprise environments. Outside of work he’s a marathoner and dad, a small signal of the persistence and discipline he brings to engineering challenges.
