Meet Josh Burns
After graduating from EKU with a Bachelors in Computer Information Sciences in 2013, I relentlessly pursued a career in SQL Server Database Administration while adding various streams of income.
Since then, I’ve worked with fortune 500 companies and well-known organizations such as Cerner, Stanford University, and CBRE.
I am now the highest-earning SQL Server DBA freelancer on Upwork, with over $820,000 earned since 2016.
My passion is helping people become top rated freelancers and live financially free via my YouTube channel with 100,000+ subscribers!
AS FEATURED IN
“We were in need of an SQL DBA to assist us in the upgrade of our CRM and Josh was able to come in and assist us and performed beyond our expectations. If we could give 10 stars we would, he knows what he is doing and genuinely wanted to help us get our migration completed successfully.”
“I’ve been very impressed working with Josh on a project for Stanford. He took seriously the concerns we had when handling HIPAA-related data. He’s professional, detail-minded and eager to assist other technologists involved in the project. I appreciate his high availability and useful documentation he provided when analyzing the SQL databases we are deploying on Microsoft Azure. I definitely will be reaching out to Josh when I need freelance work in the future.”
“Great job in configuring a clustered environment for a complex third-party database application that we have since used for other applications. Josh also helped us with related Windows and AD configurations that we’ve been able to build upon as a standard. He does a fantastic job augmenting our team with many of our database requirements.”
“Josh did an excellent job in providing solutions, advice about strategy & direction and spending time training the team. I highly recommend Josh and will work with him again in the future as well.”
“Josh completed this high-priority and high-visibility task with a minimal support from us and helped us communicate the database security requirements with another vendor. Having Josh guide, install and configure the database provided us with great peace of mind. Highly Recommended!”
“Josh worked as a Data Engineer for ExecOnline. He developed complex ETL processes to feed our data warehouse from a variety of data sources, maintained and modified existing ETL processes in Talend, maintained and made design changes to our DW, configured an FTP export and import process to pull data from our survey system, developed queries via PostgreSQL, trained a new Data Engineer, among many other tasks. I would rehire Josh in a heartbeat if the need came up.“
