Performance engineer at Oracle who diagnoses NetSuite bottlenecks with OpenSearch, Oracle AWR, and SQL execution plans.

Message

At Oracle, I investigate performance issues affecting Oracle NetSuite customers. I use OpenSearch, Oracle AWR reports, and SQL execution plans to identify bottlenecks, then work with software engineering teams on long-term solutions.

At the California Department of Technology, I administered enterprise PeopleSoft HCM environments supporting Human Resources and Payroll. I planned PeopleTools upgrades and PeopleSoft Update Manager image adoption, while also supporting patches, tax updates, and production deployments.

At Workday, I led investigations into production performance issues for Human Capital Management applications, specializing in Time Tracking and Absence Management. I developed performance testing methods and worked with software engineers to address inefficient code, SQL, and architectural bottlenecks.

Earlier, I worked in performance engineering and consulting roles at BMC Software, Oracle (PeopleSoft), PeopleSoft Application Development, and PeopleSoft Consulting. My work included enterprise benchmarks, application performance tuning, and PeopleSoft implementations and upgrades; I also earned PeopleSoft Upgrade Certification.
