What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can lead database platform reliability, automate operational processes, and implement secure backup/DR solutions in collaborative, compliance-focused teams.

I am a senior Oracle Database technologist with over 20 years of hands-on experience administering Exadata, ZDLRA, engineered systems and large-scale Oracle environments, and implementing cloud and backup solutions. I have led platform initiatives including Exadata fleet optimization, ZDLRA onboarding, Ansible automation for patching, and complex backup/recovery architectures.

My background spans product development, infrastructure, networking and security, with proven delivery across enterprise migrations, performance tuning, disaster recovery, and compliance (DOD STIG). I collaborate across teams to design repeatable processes, automate operations, and certify next-gen database technologies to meet audit and operational goals.
