What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead database platform, performance engineering, SRE, migration, and modernization work where I can build scalable automation, observability, and high-availability solutions.

I've built production-grade database performance platforms at Oracle and sustained 99.99% uptime for global financial-services database estates at Tata Consultancy Services.

At Oracle, I automated regression detection across Database releases 19c through 26ai, cutting validation time by about 70% and manual effort by more than 80%. I also built an LLM-based performance log analyser, observability platform, and Oracle APEX dashboard for end-to-end performance visibility.

Now, as an independent Consulting Database Architect, I design OLTP and data-warehouse solutions, tune production workloads, and lead migration and modernization initiatives across Oracle, Exadata, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.
