Our Team

Our people are our strength.

Glenn Mafodda / Director

Glenn started in IT as a software consultant, being the fourteenth employee of the fledgling company DWS, way back in 1994. He remained at the company for almost 14 years, and during this time became an extremely versatile programmer, consultant and DBA, working within some of Australia’s largest organisations, including Telstra, Fosters Group, Powercor, United Energy, Origin Energy, Crown, Melbourne Water, and many others. It was a role as the DBA for Crown in Melbourne, where Glenn realised he wanted to specialise in SQL Server. After finding it difficult to specialise whilst working in a consulting company, Glenn joined MyDBA in 2007 as a Database Performance Consultant. He progressed to the DBA Team Leader where he managed a small team of highly skilled DBAs, and looked after a large number of corporate clients. His specialities were performance tuning, high-end hardware, research and development and high-availability and DR solutions. He left MyDBA believing that he could provide better service to clients as an independent service provider.

Greg Obleshchuk / Director

Greg commenced his IT career 27 years ago, working his way up from a Computer Operator position all the way to IT Manager at his first company, Carter Holt Harvey, where he managed the rollout of PCs across Australia. He then set out on his own as an independent application developer, where he worked for an enormous range of different organisations and gained experience in various platforms and languages, including .Net, ASP and HTML. After 9 years working for himself, Greg joined MyDBA, where he was the head of development and was responsible for everything from design and development of the monitoring tools, to managing the infrastructure, as well as being a DBA when required. It is here that Greg became an expert in monitoring SQL Server, and he has brought that expertise to SQL Agility.

Geoff Beattie / SQL Server Performance Consultant

Geoff started his working life as an Apprentice Radio Tradesman with the SEC Victoria. He moved from there into designing and programming microprocessor based building control and airconditioning systems for Luke Airconditioning. He then worked for nearly 18 years in the technology departments of one of Australia’s premier law firms Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks. He was heavily involved in the implementation of PC technology, document imaging, database technology and numerous other systems. He also served as SQL DBA for a number of years. In 2012 he joined MyDBA and worked on their monitoring systems and websites. He also developed SSRS reports and SSIS packages for clients. He was often seconded to clients as their SQL DBA. In April, 2018 he joined DWS as a database consultant and worked for a range of clients developing SSIS based ETL processes, SSRS reports and SQL Server migrations. He joined SQL Agility in June, 2019. He also has two Law degrees.

Andrew Hinterreiter / SQL Server Performance Consultant

Andrew consulted to a number of first-tier utilities and telco’s, before taking over the reins of a healthcare software company specialising in statutory obligation management. It was there that a passion grew for engineering SQL Server-based applications, to make the best use of available resources (happy managers) while improving clinicians’ experience (happy users). One of Andrew’s decisions while running the company was to partner with the SQL Agility team for various projects, including a statewide performance monitoring dashboard. The straight-talking expertise and uncommon concern for their customers left an impression. When approached to become part of SQL Agility’s journey in 2022, Andrew could not help but say “yes”!
