SQL Server DBA Lead at University of Missouri, migrating databases to Azure and strengthening high availability.

United States
Message

At University of Missouri - Division of Information Technology, I lead SQL Server database administration across production and non-production environments. I’ve led migrations from on-premises systems to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure VMs, and optimized infrastructure resources by migrating standalone NT servers to VMware.

I maintain high availability and disaster recovery with Always On Availability Groups, failover clustering, replication, and related solutions. At Njoke Trading Company, I helped achieve 99.99% uptime for mission-critical applications and reduced query execution times by up to 60% through performance tuning.

I’ve also automated database monitoring and maintenance with PowerShell and SQL Server tools, and implemented security controls including TDE, RBAC, and Azure Active Directory. I’m a Microsoft Certified Azure Database Administrator with an M.S. in Cybersecurity Technology and a Graduate Certificate in Cloud Computing & Networking.
