About HMA Insights

Database administration, without the overhead of hiring one.

HMA Insights was founded on a simple observation: most businesses don't need a full-time DBA, they need someone who shows up when it matters and actually knows what they're looking at.

Built on real database administration experience

Before consulting, the work was hands-on database administration — the kind of job where you're the one getting paged at 2am when a production database locks up. That experience shapes how engagements are run here: practical, focused on what actually breaks in production, and allergic to over-engineering a fix that a simpler one would solve.

HMA Insights works across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, and increasingly helps clients connect a cleaned-up database to the reporting and BI tools their teams actually use day to day.

What Clients Get

DirectYou work with the person doing the work — no account manager layer in between.
ScopedEngagements sized to the actual problem, from a one-time audit to ongoing managed support.
HonestIf the right fix is smaller than expected, that's what gets recommended and billed.

The principles behind every engagement

Diagnose before prescribing

No fix gets proposed before the actual cause is confirmed — not guessed at.

Production-safe by default

Every migration and change is planned with rollback and minimal downtime in mind.

Documented, not tribal knowledge

You get a written record of what changed and why — not just a fixed problem.

Right-sized recommendations

The goal is a database that fits your business now, not a showcase of every tool available.
