Summary
Bill Wunder is a seasoned DBA and software architect with 14 years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and tuning SQL Server platforms for high-demand web and financial systems. As an independent consultant and former senior DBA/team lead, he has led major migrations (SQL Server 2000→2008/2005), stabilized production environments, and driven automation and code-review practices that dramatically reduced downtime and CPU utilization. Co-author of chapters in The SQL Server 2005 Bible and a long-time community contributor, he has published tooling and open-source projects (SQLClue, EHAdmin) that reflect a practical focus on configuration management and cryptographic key administration. Based in Pueblo, Colorado, Bill blends deep platform expertise with a developer’s mindset, often recreating issues in lab environments to deliver pragmatic, repeatable fixes. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating complex DBA tasks into consumable processes and utilities that teams actually adopt.
