Senior SQL Server DBA specializing in HA/DR, performance, and cloud.
United StatesI am a results-driven Senior SQL Server Database Administrator with 8+ years managing SQL Server 2012–2022 across production, development, and test environments, delivering high availability, scalability, and security. I have proven expertise in HA/DR strategies (AlwaysOn, Clustering, Replication, Log Shipping, Mirroring), performance tuning, security/compliance (TDE, RBAC, auditing), and hybrid cloud deployments with Azure SQL and SQL Managed Instances.
I automate administration tasks using PowerShell, SQLCMD, and CI/CD pipelines, partner closely with DevOps and development teams, and produce documentation and DR playbooks that support audits and operational continuity. I consistently drive performance improvements through query tuning, indexing strategies, and proactive monitoring while supporting migrations and compliance requirements.
