I stabilize and scale high-throughput database platforms for payments and fintech systems.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
At Cellulant, I stabilize and optimize high-throughput MySQL and MariaDB production environments, strengthening replication, failover readiness, HA/DR validation, and database security. I also automate backup, validation, monitoring, and recovery workflows to reduce repetitive DBA work.
Previously at ITEX Integrated, I improved the performance and stability of MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server clusters supporting growing transaction volumes. I built predictable restore workflows, ran DR simulations, enforced RBAC standards, and improved schema design and release readiness with engineering teams.
At Bizzdesk Group, I led database reliability for core banking and payment platforms, designing enterprise HA/DR architectures with Oracle RAC and Data Guard. Across more than nine years, I’ve focused on resilient database operations, performance tuning, capacity planning, and reliable recovery for mission-critical systems.
