Tim Vlas

I am a Database Administrator with 20 years of experience in database administration, cloud infrastructure, and automation, primarily within the banking and telecom sectors. My expertise lies in AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, and ensuring database reliability. I am passionate about scaling resilient systems, automating deployments, and minimizing downtime for high-traffic applications.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed and supported various database systems, including Oracle, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. My role at Raiffeisen Bank involved the migration of test and production databases to Oracle 19C, where I utilized tools such as Git, Terraform, and Ansible to enhance database performance and reliability. Additionally, my experience with the Armed Forces of Ukraine has honed my leadership skills, allowing me to effectively command teams in high-pressure environments.

I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking innovative solutions to complex challenges. My goal is to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values resilience and efficiency in its database management practices.
