What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my database expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a detail-oriented Database Administrator (DBA) with over 15 years of experience in designing, administering, and optimizing SQL Server database solutions. My expertise lies in implementing high-availability solutions, performance tuning, and automation, which have significantly enhanced operational efficiency in my previous roles. I have a proven track record of reducing costs, minimizing downtime, and improving system performance, making me a valuable asset to any organization.

At GameFly Holdings, I successfully administered and secured SQL Server database platforms across various environments, achieving an impressive 99.99% uptime through the implementation of Always On Availability Groups and Windows Server Failover Clustering. My efforts in optimizing database performance led to a remarkable reduction in query costs by up to 1000% and the elimination of 95% of deadlocks. Additionally, I developed automated monitoring processes that streamlined operations and improved system performance.

Prior to my role as a DBA, I served as a Senior Data Analyst, where I conducted in-depth analyses that drove strategic business decisions. I developed a Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) metric that optimized marketing strategies and designed a star schema data warehouse for enhanced sales data analysis. My experience in database marketing further honed my analytical skills, allowing me to provide data-driven recommendations that improved customer engagement and retention.
