Senior SQL Server DBA at Accenture implementing Always On failover clustering and automating database maintenance with PowerShell.

India

Message

At Accenture, I install, configure, and maintain SQL Server 2012–2019 in clustered and standalone environments. I implemented Always On Failover Cluster Instances and performed SQL migrations, with data consistency and rollback planning.

I automate routine maintenance and monitoring with PowerShell scripts, and I design and execute backup and restore strategies using Cohesity. I also support patching, security audits, and backup testing.

Previously, I worked as a SQL Server Database Administrator at IBM, Cognizant, and Clover Infotech. My work included high-availability configurations, migrations and upgrades, performance monitoring, and database operations using tools such as Foglight, Splunk, Jenkins, and DPA.
