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.

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"!

Dr Gareth Dickenson / Analytics Consultant and Data scientist

Gareth spent over ten years in academia studying small molecules using lasers and synchrotron radiation culminating in a PhD in Physics from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. During this period, he obtained a deep understanding of capturing and analyzing large amounts of measurement data for the purpose of understanding fundamental phenomena. Upon emigrating to Australia in 2013 he had a brief stint as a Post Doctoral researcher before deciding to apply his analytical skills to solve business problems. He began as a data scientist at a large multinational law firm where he implemented many machine learning algorithms to assist with improving internal business processes, forecasting revenue and optimizing marketing opportunities. After joining a startup hedge fund, he oversaw the data science team to produce a fully automated trading system. Experience in the retail sector was acquired at a rural wholesale startup where Gareth managed all the core IT software platforms and analytics functions. Having worked previously with SQL Agility as a client, Gareth was impressed with their work ethic, knowledge and approach to solving business issues. When the opportunity arose to work directly with the team, it was a no-brainer. Gareth now leads the BI analytics, data science and data engineering functions at SQL Agility.

Glenn Woodford / SQL Server Performance Consultant

Glenn’s career began at Orica as an Application and Database Developer, where he built core systems and supported nationwide reporting platforms. After early roles across development, systems administration and application support, he moved into consulting and spent more than 20 years with DWS, delivering solutions for major Australian organisations including Telstra, NAB, Crown Melbourne, Melbourne Water, JBWere, AHPRA, Transurban and multiple government agencies. Throughout his consulting career, Glenn developed a reputation for versatility, working across development, data engineering, ETL, DevOps, infrastructure delivery, business analysis and database administration. His extensive work on SQL Server environments led him to specialise in performance optimisation, database migrations and complex system troubleshooting. He consistently delivered measurable improvements, from stabilising critical systems to reducing multi hour runtimes to minutes. Glenn has held senior roles including DBA Team Lead, Infrastructure and DB Delivery Manager, leading teams and improving operational outcomes for enterprise and government clients. After a period of travel, he joined SQL Agility in 2026 as a SQL Server Performance Consultant, offering focused, high quality expertise as an independent minded technical consultant.
