What I'm looking for

I seek senior PostgreSQL DBA roles focusing on HA, performance tuning, automated backup/recovery, cloud database operations, and collaborative teams that value reliability and continuous improvement.

I bring over 10 years of hands-on IT experience focused on PostgreSQL database administration across versions 9.3 through 14, supporting large-scale production environments in manufacturing, finance, and enterprise systems. I specialize in high-availability architectures, backup and recovery, performance tuning, and security hardening.

I have implemented HA solutions using streaming and logical replication, Patroni, and PgBouncer, and I manage backups with native tools, Barman, and pgBackRest. I am experienced with AWS RDS for PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas basics, automation via Bash and Python, and monitoring with Nagios and Prometheus to ensure proactive issue resolution and 24/7 production support.

I work collaboratively with developers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to deliver reliable, performant database platforms, emphasizing ownership, continuous improvement, and clear technical documentation. I consistently drive automation, query optimization, and capacity planning to align databases with business needs.
