IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Diyar United Company, I manage 6-node Galera multi-master clusters handling ~10TB of data and ~5000 QPS. I designed hybrid HA/DR architectures and achieved ~5-second failover for production systems.
I built custom monitoring and alerting with Bash, PMM, and SQLDM, and reduced incidents by ~20% through proactive monitoring and tuning. I also act as the primary interface with the MariaDB RDBA team for architecture decisions and issue resolution.
At FLYdocs, I designed and managed MariaDB/MySQL environments, implemented replication and MaxScale-based read/write routing, and built disaster recovery solutions. I also led an on-prem to Azure database migration using MySQL/MariaDB PaaS services.
Earlier, I developed database-driven web applications with PHP and MySQL and held application and PHP team lead roles. My work has included production support, performance tuning, capacity planning, and automation with Python and PHP.
