What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can administer enterprise databases and build SQL/Python data pipelines that feed Power BI/Jasper dashboards—while partnering on data accuracy, reliability, and performance (DR, backup/restore, tuning) in a remote-friendly environment.

I’m a data-focused Database Administrator and Data Analyst with 7+ years administering enterprise database platforms (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) and delivering analytics and reporting on top of them. I turn raw data into dashboards and reports that support business decision-making, with a strong emphasis on data accuracy, quality assurance, and root-cause analysis.

I build Python (pandas) and SQL data-preparation pipelines in Azure Synapse Notebooks, and I support analytics delivery using Power BI and Jasper Reports. I also own critical database operations—backup, restore, disaster recovery validation, capacity planning, patch management, secure baseline enforcement, and high availability with failover/replication—while working comfortably in remote environments.
