What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my database skills and collaborate with innovative teams, focusing on scalable solutions and continuous learning opportunities.

I am a resourceful Database Developer and Administrator with over four years of experience in database design, data modeling, and backend development. My expertise lies in Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL, where I have a proven ability to optimize performance, ensure data integrity, and support mission-critical applications. I am adept in web technologies such as PHP and Java EE, and I have experience in system administration on Linux environments. My passion for building scalable solutions drives me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

In my previous role as a Database Technology/IT Instructor at Intercom Programming and Manufacturing Company (IPMC), I instructed students in Oracle development and administration, PL/SQL programming, and MS SQL Server. I also guided them through web development using Core Java EE and PHP/MySQL. Currently, I serve as a Teaching Assistant at Koforidua Technical University, where I support courses in Oracle database administration and MySQL, facilitating lab sessions focused on SQL queries and database concepts.
