EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
At Awash Bank S.C., I provide strategic leadership for database platforms and guide the DBA team in applying consistent practices. I oversee performance monitoring and help address risks affecting availability and scalability.
I lead capacity planning and high-availability architecture development for mission-critical systems. I also work with Infrastructure, Security, Applications, and Project Management teams on enterprise initiatives, integrations, and upgrades.
At Awash International Bank, I managed DB2 changes, backups, reorganizations, and migrations between environments to support application design and development. I also supported disaster recovery and production migration security.
Earlier at BG MFI, I worked on core banking data cleaning and migration, writing SQL and managing data loads from legacy systems to new core banking software. I also coordinated POS implementation projects and prepared project documentation.
