What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time role managing production databases where I can lead HA/DR, performance tuning, cloud migrations, and collaborate with DevOps in a security-conscious, growth-oriented team.

I am an efficient Database Administrator with eight years of experience designing, administering, and optimizing large-scale SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL environments. I deliver high availability and disaster recovery solutions, automated deployments, and performance tuning that improved query response times by 40% and supported a 99.9% uptime objective.

I have led migrations of 200+ databases off legacy servers, created Service Level Agreements, and implemented cost-saving strategies that reduced licensing spend by over $50,000. I collaborate with DevOps and application teams to integrate CI/CD, enforce security and compliance (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR), and maintain robust backup/recovery practices.
