@pankajgunwant

I manage mission-critical Oracle databases, RAC, Data Guard, and cloud migrations.

I'm currently administering Oracle 11g and 19c production databases for mission-critical applications at Ness Digital Engineering, including RAC, ASM, Data Guard, RMAN recovery, patching, and 11g-to-19c upgrades.

I support 100+ Oracle production and non-production databases up to 10 TB in 24x7 environments. I've led disaster recovery drills, resolved critical RAC, CRS, ASM, Data Guard, and SQL performance incidents, and handled Sev-1 and Sev-2 incidents within SLA.

I've migrated on-premises Oracle databases to AWS using EXPDP/IMPDP and AWS DMS for near-zero-downtime replication, and to OCI using Oracle Zero Downtime Migration. My cloud work includes Amazon RDS for Oracle, EC2, OCI DB Systems, Compute, Object Storage, VCN, and IAM.

Previously, I supported Oracle RAC environments at Cognizant and Tata Consultancy Services for pharmaceutical and BFSI applications. I use AWR, ASH, ADDM, SQL Monitor, OEM13c, and shell scripting to tune performance, automate DBA operations, and keep database platforms reliable.
