What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and opportunities for professional growth in database management and cloud technologies.

I am a results-driven SQL Server Database Administrator with over 5 years of hands-on experience in architecting, managing, and optimizing enterprise-grade database solutions across various environments including on-premise, hybrid, and cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS. My expertise lies in deploying and supporting SQL Server versions from 2005 to 2022, with a strong focus on high availability, disaster recovery planning, and performance tuning.

Throughout my career, I have successfully improved database performance through T-SQL scripting, PowerShell automation, and building scalable ETL pipelines using SSIS. I have a proven track record of managing data lakes and warehouses, automating reporting processes with SSRS and Power BI, and implementing secure systems using modern DevOps practices. My proactive problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate with stakeholders have consistently led to data-driven solutions that enhance reliability, performance, and compliance across enterprise systems.
