What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and innovation in database management.

I am a dedicated database professional with more than a decade of experience in designing, administering, and maintaining various database and data-warehouse technologies, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, MAPR, and Teradata. My journey in the tech industry has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for optimizing database performance.

In my current role as Frontline Manager (Lead DBA) at Interswitch Group, I have successfully coordinated process changes that eliminated errors and reduced deployment times by an average of 95%. My leadership in performance tuning and crisis management has significantly increased the reliability of our systems, achieving a remarkable 99.9999% uptime for applications on Kubernetes. I take pride in empowering my team through training and knowledge sharing, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Throughout my career, I have led various projects, including the migration of over 70TB of data and the implementation of high availability and disaster recovery solutions. My educational background, with a Master's degree in Internet Computing and Network Security from Loughborough University, complements my extensive hands-on experience, making me a valuable asset in any organization seeking to enhance their database management capabilities.
