What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my database management skills and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a Senior Database Management Engineer with approximately 15 years of experience in managing, optimizing, and securing complex SQL database systems. My expertise lies in leveraging advanced SQL Server techniques and high-availability solutions to enhance reliability and performance. Currently, I serve as a Senior Database Administrator at Daily Management, where I assess database environments, optimize performance, and develop complex SQL queries and procedures.

Throughout my career, I have successfully migrated systems, improved coding productivity using AI tools, and generated insightful reports to meet organizational needs. My previous roles include programming at Global Strategic Investments, where I maintained web applications and collaborated with front-end developers to optimize user experiences. I hold a Doctorate in Computer Science and multiple degrees in Information Technology and Business Administration, which have equipped me with a solid foundation to tackle complex database challenges.
