What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own PeopleSoft/Oracle platform delivery—upgrades, security, patching, and performance—partnering with functional and technical teams to meet deadlines, avoid scope-creep, and ensure stable operations with clear service ownership.

I’m a high-performing PeopleSoft Administrator/DBA with 20+ years of experience across the project lifecycle—from conception to completion. I’m also Oracle 9i Database Certified Associate, Oracle WebLogic Server 10g Certified Expert, and ITIL® V3 Foundation Certified, and I focus on aligning technology and business to produce cost-effective outcomes.

I maintain and support PeopleSoft components like WebLogic, Tuxedo, Process Scheduler, Integration Broker, and Application Messaging across UNIX, Windows, and Oracle infrastructure. I install PeopleSoft images, configure packages using PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM), apply Tax Updates, manage tools and patching, monitor performance, and troubleshoot development and production issues across multiple environments.

I’ve progressed into leadership and delivery roles, including Project Manager work where I spearheaded a team of 12, coordinated onsite/offshore resources, drove status reporting, and strengthened knowledge transfer through training. As a Training Principal Consultant and freelancer, I continue to help teams deliver complex PeopleSoft initiatives without scope-creep while meeting strict deadlines.
