Technologies: UC4, Jira, SQL Server, Oracle, Java, Python, Lieberman, Linux, Jai
Responsible for the operation and development of an application that automatically records, processes, and forwards technical incidents in various test environments.
Automated the creation of Jira incident tickets when UC4 workflows were blocked, including routing them to the relevant application managers.
Modernized the application by migrating from Java to Python, moving the database from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle, and replacing the Jenkins scheduler with UC4.

Shift lead for operations control in test environments
Areas of responsibility: Monitoring various test systems
Technologies: UC4, TSO, HOST, Azure-Cloud
Responsible for monitoring and controlling automated processing workflows in various test environments, including systems running in the Azure-Cloud.
Monitored UC4 and HOST workflows and analyzed and handled incidents. When processing workflows were blocked, Jira tickets were automatically created through TRANT and assigned to the relevant application owners. In coordination with them, affected jobs were restarted or stopped as needed. HOST processes were also monitored and controlled through OPC.
A multi-shift operation was introduced to ensure stable and as continuous as possible testing.
Test data anonymization manager
Areas of responsibility: Planning/anonymizing/publishing production data for test systems
Technologies: UC4, Informatica (PowerCenter and IDMC)
To ensure test environments could run with real data, production databases were cloned regularly. Production data had to be untraceable in test environments. For this reason, the cloned databases were first anonymized with Informatica PowerCenter and later with Informatica IDMC. Critical tables and columns in the various databases (Oracle, SQL-Server, MongoDB) had to be identified and analyzed at the data level. Rules for handling critical data were agreed with the application owners.

About the technology
ETL foundation
SQL Server Integration Services, commonly called SSIS, is Microsoft’s platform for extracting, transforming and loading data. It moves information between SQL Server, files, applications and external systems while applying validation, cleansing and business rules. Companies use it to create repeatable data flows for reporting, analytics, migration and operational integration.
Packages and workflows
SSIS work is organized into packages that combine control-flow tasks, data-flow components, variables, parameters, logging and event handling. Strong specialists build packages that are readable, testable and safe to rerun when a source system changes or a load fails.
- Import and export data across databases, files and services
- Apply joins, lookups, conversions, filters and data quality rules
- Schedule dependencies and manage failure handling
- Prepare migration and reconciliation workflows
Microsoft ecosystem
SSIS is closely tied to SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, SSMS and the Microsoft data stack. Projects may also involve Azure Data Factory, Power BI, Analysis Services, stored procedures and reporting databases. Useful adjacent skills include T-SQL, dimensional modeling, Windows authentication, source control and deployment automation.
When expertise matters
Companies often bring in freelance SSIS expertise during a data warehouse rollout, an ERP or CRM migration, a reporting rebuild or a move toward Azure. External support is also valuable when packages have become slow, fragile or difficult to monitor. In Switzerland, collaboration may involve distributed teams, regulated industries and clear expectations around documentation and language.
- Rework packages that fail during scheduled loads
- Improve performance through query, buffer and transformation tuning
- Establish environments, parameters and deployment practices
- Document lineage, dependencies and operational support procedures
Quality signals
A strong professional looks beyond making a package run once. They clarify source behavior, define data-quality checks, protect credentials, measure load performance and design recovery paths. They can explain trade-offs between SSIS, SQL-based transformations and cloud services without forcing a tool where it does not fit.
Delivery and collaboration
Effective SSIS engagements begin with a clear inventory of sources, destinations, schedules, volumes and ownership. Specialists should leave behind tested packages, deployment notes, monitoring guidance and a handover that internal teams can use. Remote work is practical when secure access, sample data and responsive communication are available; on-site workshops can help when legacy systems or stakeholders require close coordination.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with SQL Server Integration Services? These answers cover the essentials.
SQL Server Integration Services is used to extract data from databases, files and business applications, transform it, and load it into reporting or operational systems. Companies commonly use SSIS for data warehouses, migrations, scheduled imports, reconciliation and recurring data-quality workflows.
SQL Server Integration Services is well suited to established SQL Server environments and complex package-based transformations. Azure Data Factory is designed for cloud orchestration and broader hybrid integration, while many teams use both by running or gradually modernizing existing SSIS packages.
A strong SSIS professional usually works comfortably with T-SQL, SQL Server Agent, SSMS, relational modeling and performance tuning. Experience with Azure Data Factory, Power BI, source control, deployment automation and data-quality design is also useful when the project spans a wider Microsoft data estate.
The right level depends on the scope, source complexity and operational risk rather than on a fixed number of years. A simple import may need focused package expertise, while a warehouse migration calls for someone who can design dependencies, recovery, security, testing and handover across the full SQL Server Integration Services solution.
Yes. SQL Server Integration Services work can often be delivered remotely when secure system access, representative data and clear ownership are available. On-site sessions may still help with legacy infrastructure, workshops or coordination across Swiss teams, and language expectations should be agreed before work begins.
Ask for examples of packages that include validation, logging, parameterization, restart handling and clear deployment steps. A capable SSIS specialist should also explain how they test data accuracy, investigate failed loads and prevent silent duplication or truncation.
Modernization is worth considering when packages are hard to deploy, dependent on undocumented servers, slow under growing loads or poorly suited to cloud operations. SQL Server Integration Services can remain effective for on-premises and hybrid workloads, so the decision should follow operational needs rather than a blanket tool replacement.
Expected deliverables may include package files, deployment configurations, source and target mappings, test evidence, monitoring instructions and recovery procedures. For a migration or redesign, the SSIS professional should also document assumptions, dependencies, known data issues and the steps required for internal teams to operate the solution.
