What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior roles that challenge me to innovate and lead in database management.

At Sibisoft – A NorthStar Company USA, I design and implement MySQL environments for over 700 clients. I also led migrations to cloud platforms using GCP services.

I developed automated backup and disaster recovery solutions that decreased backup times by 50%, and tuned queries and indexing strategies to improve response times by 30%.

At Al Rajhi Takaful - Riyadh (Remote), I provided DBA services focused on performance optimization and developed backup and recovery strategies for bank clients. I also delivered a disaster recovery solution that reduced failover times from hours to minutes.

At Conure IT Services - USA, I led the design and deployment of a 4TB MySQL cluster for a Big Data application and collaborated on a hybrid MySQL/MongoDB system for IoT applications. Earlier, at e-Blue Systems - DUBAI, I configured and deployed ERP systems and made complex data more accessible to clients.
