What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical role where I can lead production reliability, database performance tuning, and process automation while collaborating with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

I am a seasoned IT professional with 21 years of experience in database administration, production support, and customer-facing technical operations across banking and financial services. I have deep expertise in Oracle (10g–12c), PL/SQL, performance tuning, disaster recovery drills, and Unix/HP-UX environments.

My roles have spanned hands-on technical support to client service management, where I've led month/quarter/year-end activities, scaled services for high-volume events, and coordinated cross-functional teams for migrations and architecture projects. I have driven process improvements, automation (Splunk, shell scripting, PowerShell), and operational runbooks to improve reliability and incident handling.

I excel at stakeholder communication, vendor coordination, and delivering production-ready solutions under pressure, having supported major clients and led teams through mergers, large data migrations, and critical DR/DRILL operations.
