ClickHouse Consulting
ClickHouse help for teams that need analytics to work now
I help Postgres-heavy SaaS, AI, and data product teams design, debug, and optimize ClickHouse systems for real-time analytics.

Where I help
The useful work is usually around the boundaries: ingestion, schema choices, query plans, rollups, and production behavior.
- Postgres-to-ClickHouse ingestion and CDC designs that do not drift, duplicate, or quietly lag.
- MergeTree table design: ordering keys, partitioning, TTLs, codecs, and denormalization tradeoffs.
- Query and EXPLAIN reviews for dashboards, customer-facing analytics, traces, logs, and usage data.
- Materialized views, rollups, and correctness checks before teams rely on the numbers.
- Cost and operational review for systems that work, but feel fragile or expensive.
First offer
A fixed-scope audit gives your team a concrete action plan without starting a long consulting project.
ClickHouse Analytics Readiness Audit. In one week, I review your ingestion path, table design, query patterns, materialized views, correctness risks, and cost/performance bottlenecks.
You get a concise engineering report: what is wrong, why it matters, what to change first, and what tradeoffs to expect. The work can be done with sanitized schemas, representative queries, architecture notes, and async context.
Packages
Start small, then move into implementation only when the problem is clear.
