What I'm looking for

I seek an enterprise role where I can manage and optimize Oracle and cloud databases, lead migrations, and contribute to 24x7 reliable production operations within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am an Oracle Database Administrator with around 7 years of enterprise DBA experience managing Oracle 19c/12c/11g/10g/9i across Linux, Solaris, AIX and Windows, plus hands-on Exadata and cloud (OCI, AWS, GCP) migrations. I deliver 24x7 production and development support, RMAN backup/recovery, Data Guard, RAC/ASM administration, OEM monitoring, and GoldenGate troubleshooting while coordinating with Oracle support for complex issues.

I have implemented enterprise monitoring, executed database upgrades and cloud migrations, refreshed dev/test environments, and automated tasks with shell and PowerShell scripting. I am a reliable self-starter who plans, designs, and manages systems of varying scale, with strong communication, problem-resolution, and customer service skills.
