What I'm looking for

I seek senior data-architecture roles designing scalable, secure databases and data warehouses, optimizing performance, leading integrations in payments or enterprise domains, and mentoring teams in collaborative, innovation-driven companies.

I am a data architect and database administrator with over 18 years of experience designing and managing enterprise database solutions across MS SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2 and MySQL.

I have led architecture and integration projects for payments and banking environments, serving as a Senior Enterprise Architect, Integration Manager, and DB advisor, and delivering solutions that improved performance and reduced costs.

My technical expertise includes data modeling, ETL and data warehousing, middleware and integration (IBM MQ, WAS, IIB, CP4I), BI tools (Cognos, SSRS, SSIS), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and performance tuning, HA/DR and security controls.

I hold certifications in IBM WAS, DB2, MCSD and MCDBA, have earned IBM Blue Works awards and SAMA recognition, and I am seeking senior roles where I can design scalable, secure data architectures and mentor technical teams to deliver measurable business value.
