Oracle Database Administrator focused on high-availability, recovery, and proactive support.
What I'm looking for
I am an Oracle Database Administrator with 3 years of experience managing mission-critical production databases. I focus on ensuring high availability and stability through thorough monitoring and proactive issue resolution.
My hands-on work centers on RMAN, Data Guard, and RAC—performing backups, recovery operations, and supporting disaster recovery activities like DR rebuilds, standby synchronization, and DR drill validation. I also manage archive logs and help resolve redo gap, archive destination, and synchronization issues.
In my roles, I provide 247 production support for Oracle databases across Production, UAT, and SIT environments, while maintaining ITIL-compliant documentation, SOPs, and activity reports. I bring a strong ownership mindset and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, timely outcomes.
