Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
T-SQL at a glance
T-SQL, short for Transact-SQL, is Microsoft’s SQL extension for working with relational data in SQL Server and Azure SQL. It adds procedural logic, variables, error handling, transactions and programmable database objects to standard SQL. Companies use it to turn business rules into reliable data operations.
What it builds
T-SQL supports the data layer behind business applications, reporting systems and operational workflows. Specialists write stored procedures, views, functions and triggers that retrieve, transform and validate information close to the database.
- Transactional processing for enterprise applications
- Reporting queries for finance, sales and operations
- ETL routines and data cleansing processes
- Data exports, reconciliations and scheduled jobs
Microsoft ecosystem
T-SQL work commonly sits within SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and SQL Server Integration Services. Professionals may also use SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, SQL Server Agent, Power BI and Git-based deployment workflows. Familiarity with Entity Framework or other application data layers helps when database logic must align with software services.
Performance and reliability
Strong T-SQL specialists understand execution plans, indexing, statistics, locking and transaction isolation. They diagnose slow queries rather than relying on surface-level rewrites. They also manage permissions, backups, migrations and versioned database changes so improvements remain safe in production.
- Investigate blocking, deadlocks and resource-heavy queries
- Review execution plans and index design
- Refactor procedures without changing business results
- Protect data integrity with constraints and transactions
When to bring in expertise
Companies often need freelance support during SQL Server migrations, reporting rebuilds, application modernization or periods of database instability. External specialists can untangle inherited procedures, document undocumented schemas and prepare a practical optimization plan. They are also useful when internal teams need focused capacity for a release or data project.
Remote collaboration works well when access, deployment rules and documentation are clear. On-site work can help with regulated environments, complex operational handovers or close coordination with infrastructure and application teams.
What quality looks like
A capable T-SQL professional starts with the data model, workload and business outcome. They test changes against realistic data, explain trade-offs and measure query behavior before and after an intervention. Look for experience with the relevant SQL Server version, Azure services, deployment controls and the surrounding application stack.
The best specialists write maintainable code, handle edge cases and communicate clearly with analysts, application teams and database owners. They leave behind documented queries, repeatable scripts and a clear explanation of operational risks.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around T-SQL.
T-SQL is used to query and modify data in Microsoft SQL Server and related Azure SQL services. It also supports stored procedures, functions, transactions, validation logic, reporting queries and database automation.
Transact-SQL extends standard SQL with Microsoft-specific features such as variables, procedural statements, error handling, temporary tables and programmable database objects. The exact behavior and available functions depend on the SQL Server or Azure SQL environment.
A T-SQL specialist is useful for slow queries, complex reporting, SQL Server migrations, unstable procedures or large data-cleaning tasks. Freelance support can also help when a team needs focused capacity without changing its permanent structure.
A strong T-SQL professional often brings SQL Server administration knowledge, data modeling, indexing and execution-plan analysis. Experience with Azure SQL, Power BI, SSIS, Git, application data layers and deployment automation can be important depending on the project.
The required experience depends on the workload, data sensitivity and level of production risk. A straightforward report may need focused query expertise, while performance remediation or migration work calls for a T-SQL professional who can assess dependencies, concurrency and rollback options.
Yes, T-SQL work is often suitable for remote collaboration when database access, security controls and communication routines are established. On-site involvement may be useful for restricted environments, operational handovers or projects closely tied to local infrastructure.
Ask the T-SQL freelancer to explain how they investigate execution plans, blocking, indexing and transaction behavior. Review whether their scripts are readable, tested, documented and safe to deploy, rather than judging quality by query length alone.
T-SQL remains relevant wherever SQL Server or Azure SQL stores important operational or analytical data. It can coexist with PostgreSQL, MySQL, cloud warehouses or application-managed queries, but teams should assess portability, vendor-specific logic and the cost of maintaining multiple data systems.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects is 95 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 757 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects, 84% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 52% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects have 23 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3 years.
The most common languages among freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects are German (100%), English (94%), and Russian (15%).
The most common industries among freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects are Information Technology (96%), Manufacturing (61%), and Banking and Finance (59%).
The most common business areas among freelancers who have used T-SQL in their recent projects are Information Technology (100%), Product Development (77%), and Business Intelligence (71%).
