Intro Post for Ibrahim Khalil
What I Specialize In
I work across on-prem and cloud environments, focusing on building scalable, secure, and highly available database platforms. My core strengths include:
- High Availability & DR: Oracle RAC, Data Guard, and resilient architectures for mission-critical systems
- Enterprise Performance: proactive tuning, capacity planning, and stability improvements for production workloads
- Operations Excellence: patching, automation scripting, hardening, monitoring, and 24×7 production support
Platforms & Technologies
Over the years, I’ve managed and optimized databases across multiple engines and enterprise applications, including:
- Oracle: RAC, Data Guard, and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) database operations
- Open Source: PostgreSQL and MySQL
- Microsoft: Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)
- AWS Databases: Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DocumentDB (MongoDB-compatible)
Migration & Modernization Experience
A major part of my work involves leading large-scale database migrations—including complex, business-critical transformations where downtime must be minimal and data consistency is non-negotiable.
What I’ve Delivered
- Cross-platform transformations: Oracle to PostgreSQL / MSSQL
- Cloud migrations: end-to-end on-prem to AWS using AWS DMS with Change Data Capture (CDC)
- Near-zero-downtime cutovers: strong focus on validation, reconciliation, and controlled go-live execution
- DocumentDB/PostgreSQL operations: ensuring integrity, consistency, and stable performance at scale
My approach combines careful planning, measurable testing, and production-grade execution—so migrations are not just “successful,” but also repeatable, auditable, and operationally sustainable.
