What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an international DBA role where I can lead cloud database migrations and performance tuning on Azure/AWS, strengthen backup/disaster recovery, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to reduce operational costs and downtime.

I’m an International Senior DBA responsible for database server management, installation, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of all RDBMS’s. I join implementation teams as the database specialist and recently helped transition to a cloud-based infrastructure using Azure SQL Database, integrating services while saving on maintenance costs.

Before that, I delivered impact as a Senior Data Analyst and Senior Database Consultant, owning changes and innovation, instituting performance monitoring, and leading proactive tuning and maintenance. I’ve worked across Azure and AWS environments, including automation of SQL backups to reduce recovery time objectives and improve database reliability.

My background spans complex, high-availability operations and migrations in government and enterprise settings, including SQL Server migrations, consultancy, and best practices for resilience and disaster recovery. I’ve also supported 24x7 redundant environments with Oracle RAC and Cluster Servers, following ITIL/COBIT methodologies, and built an internal monitoring solution aligned with the Sarbanes-Oxley model that was recognized for the Gerdau Group.

I bring a hands-on, execution-focused mindset—pairing database engineering with performance tuning, security-minded administration, and practical cloud enablement. I enjoy making systems more stable, measurable, and cost-effective while ensuring smooth migrations with minimal downtime.
