Work With Justin

Bring the
framework to your
environment.

The books give you the architecture. Consulting puts it to work — in your specific SQL environment, with your team, your governance requirements, and your production constraints.

Every engagement starts with a conversation. No obligation, no pitch. Just an honest look at where you are and what would actually help.

Justin Figg

Lead Database Professional · SQL Server & Hybrid Architecture

I'm a database professional specializing in AI-augmented SQL Server and hybrid cloud environments. The AI Powered DBA framework and SQLRPA toolkit grew out of real work in production environments — the problems were real, the constraints were real, and the solutions had to be production-safe from day one.

Governance-first isn't a philosophy I arrived at abstractly. It's what you end up with when you've seen what happens when AI tools operate without proper authorization controls in production database environments.

The books document what works. Consulting is how I help teams implement it in their specific context — because no two SQL environments are alike, and the framework needs to be calibrated to yours.

Published Author

Author of "The AI-Powered DBA" — two editions on Amazon KDP covering governance-first AI augmentation for SQL Server and hybrid environments.

SQLRPA Creator

Built and maintains the SQLRPA governance-first SQL automation toolkit, currently in open beta with production deployments in multiple environments.

SQL Server Specialist

Deep expertise in SQL Server 2016–2022, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure SQL Database, and hybrid cloud data architectures.

Governance-First Architecture

Developed the 5-layer governance framework for AI-augmented database operations — advisory control, deterministic detection, governance, DevOps integration, and predictive modeling.

Common questions.

Do I need to have read the books before a consulting engagement?

No — though it helps. The AI Readiness Assessment is designed to work regardless of your starting point. If you have read the books, we can move faster.

Is the AI Readiness Assessment really free?

Yes. It's a genuine assessment call — not a sales pitch. If there's a fit for further engagement, we'll discuss it. If not, you leave with useful information regardless.

Do you work with companies outside the US?

Yes. All consulting is delivered remotely via video call. Timezone permitting, I work with teams in North America, Europe, and APAC.

What size environments do you work with?

From single-server SQL Server environments to multi-region hybrid cloud architectures. The framework scales. The calibration is what changes.

Can SQLRPA be deployed on-premises?

Yes. SQLRPA is designed to run entirely on-premises with no external data transmission. Cloud connectivity is optional, not required.

Do you offer retainer arrangements?

Yes, for ongoing advisory relationships. These are structured individually based on scope and cadence. Start with the assessment and we can discuss from there.

Start with a conversation.

60 minutes. No obligation. A clear picture of where your SQL environment stands and what would actually move the needle.
