"Software performance engineer" is a job title at very big companies, for those who work full time on improving the performance of software systems and their dependencies. Many more companies could benefit from the skills of a software performance engineer, to address a situation where too much money is spent on running a slow software system or underlying database.

I am looking to analyse and improve the performance of software systems and their dependencies. Maybe it takes a month to analyse and improve your system. Maybe a week. Maybe less. Depending on the situation, improved performance means: a faster system, consuming less memory, requiring less hardware, using cheaper hardware, etc.

The initial activity is best performed close to the development team, preferably on-site.

Get in touch and we can discuss what is needed to improve the performance of your software.
