What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead database architecture and performance work in cloud and on-prem environments, delivering high-availability, zero-downtime systems. I want to automate DBA operations, strengthen backup/DR strategy, and optimize costs and query efficiency using Azure SQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB.

I’m a results-driven Database Engineer with 14+ years of experience specializing in Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Azure Cloud DB, and MongoDB, focused on high-availability, zero-downtime database architectures across enterprise environments in healthcare, education, and software.

I lead end-to-end database governance and performance improvements—such as cutting average query execution time by up to 45% through execution plan analysis, index redesign, and workload profiling, and running 30+ production databases with strong security, integrity, and storage design. I’ve also built automation that eliminates manual DBA effort (cutting restorations from 4 hours to under 30 minutes), delivered 99.95% uptime, and supported HIPAA-regulated systems with defined RPO/RTO goals—earning recognition like Customer Champion and Star Performer awards.
