@peterashie
SQL Server and PostgreSQL database administrator specializing in hybrid cloud platforms, performance, and high availability.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I bring “over 9 years of progressive experience” building database solutions that support multiple workloads across SQL Server (2012 through 2022) on-premises and Azure SQL services, managing up to “5 TB of data.” I’m responsible for “Management, Availability, Security, Performance monitoring and optimization,” with a focus on reliable, documented operations.
I’ve “evaluate[d] and implement[ed] migration strategies for moving databases between Azure and on premises,” and I coordinate with “Azure data engineers, Azure solution architects, Azure developers, data scientists, and other professionals” to manage operational aspects of data platform solutions. I implement and troubleshoot “AlwaysOn Availability Groups,” configure disaster recovery with “Log Shipping” and “Replication,” and handle high availability using “WSFC.”
I automate day-to-day operations with “PowerShell DBAtools,” “SQL Server Agent,” and tools like “Query Store,” “Extended Events,” and DMVs, while using third-party tools (e.g., “Redgate,” “SentryOne,” “IDERA”) to improve monitoring and tuning. I take pride in problem-solving, integrity testing/restore practices, and maintaining clear standards for production support.
