Senior Database and SRE leader driving automation, migrations, and infrastructure reliability.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Database and SRE leader with a Master's in Strategic IT Management and extensive experience designing automation chapters and leading large-scale database migrations for high-availability enterprises.
At Banco Davivienda I designed and led an Automation Chapter for IT Operations, reducing professional-services costs by more than COP $600 million and improving infrastructure availability through modular, self-managed practices aligned with ITIL.
I have directed strategic technology-modernization programs that reduced platform obsolescence from 86% to 22%, executing migrations (SPARC → x86, Oracle RAC, Exadata, OCI) with minimal downtime while managing risk, DRP, and vendor coordination.
My background spans roles as DB Projects Lead, Senior DBA, Performance Analyst, and Automation/Infrastructure Leader across banking, telecom, and consulting sectors; I focus on performance optimization, migration, automation, cloud fundamentals, and operational continuity.
