Claus Munch

Hi, I'm Claus 👋

I'm a Danish developer and database professional based in Denmark, born in 1981 and thoroughly passionate about what I do.

I've been working with SQL Server since 2001 — so yes, I was wrangling queries before most of today's popular frameworks even existed. Over more than two decades I've built up deep expertise in database design, performance tuning, and keeping production systems healthy and fast. These days that work increasingly lives in the cloud, and Azure SQL is where a big chunk of my professional energy goes.

But I don't stop at databases. I enjoy the full stack — building web applications with Laravel, setting up and managing my own server infrastructure, and automating the things that shouldn't need a human in the loop. If there's a self-hosted solution that does the job, I'll probably be running it on Proxmox somewhere.

On the side, I like turning ideas into small products. Whether it's a monitoring tool, a niche web app, or something built just to scratch an itch — I find that side projects are where I learn the most and have the most fun.

When I'm not in front of a terminal, I'm somewhere in Denmark, probably with strong opinions about coffee and even stronger ones about index strategies.
