Enterprise Database Leadership

With over 12 years of experience as a Database Administrator, I have worked across enterprise environments managing Oracle Database (10g/11g and beyond), SQL Server, and modern cloud-based database platforms. My focus has always been performance, availability, and secure database operations.

I actively contribute to Oracle discussions, technical forums, and community knowledge sharing — aligning with the principles of technical leadership and community impact.

My hands-on experience includes:

• Database Performance Tuning (AWR/ASH, SQL optimization)

• Backup & Recovery (RMAN, EXPDP/IMPDP)

• High Availability & Disaster Recovery

• Security best practices & audit compliance

• Cross-platform integrations & enterprise migrations

These real-world implementations allow me to share practical solutions in peer discussions and enterprise engagements.

This validates my knowledge in:

Commitment to Modern Data Platforms

Beyond traditional DBA work, I specialize in disaster recovery planning, enterprise database governance, and aligning database architecture with business continuity requirements.

My mission is simple:
