What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Oracle Apps DBA Lead role where I can own EBS (11i–12.2) and Oracle database operations end-to-end, support RAC/ASM and OCI environments, and lead troubleshooting, DR readiness, and team mentoring with strong client collaboration.

I’m an Oracle Apps DBA with 19 years of experience across Oracle E-Business Suite 11i through 12.2 implementation, support, and upgrade projects. I work across Oracle Databases 9i through 19c, including RAC and ASM, and I’ve handled end-to-end project delivery while facing the client directly.

I’m known for reliable operations and sharp troubleshooting—owning activities like EBS SYSADMIN tasks, ADOP patching, cloning, RMAN backup/restore, and all core EBS maintenance. I also support day-to-day application and database stability for developers and the user community, including OEM monitoring and performance tuning to reduce bottlenecks.

Beyond classic DBA work, I’ve led migrations and modernization initiatives, including OCI migrations and OCI instance support for technical/functional teams and users. I’ve also worked with cloud-adjacent activities such as AWS code migrations and datafixes, and I’ve partnered with auditors by providing the required audit information.

With more than 10 years of experience leading and managing teams, I mentor daily activities, manage offshore delivery, and run customer/client meetings across ongoing tasks. From disaster recovery (DR) rehearsals to security best practices—CPU/PSU/RUP patching, WebLogic administration, and integrations (SSO/OID, Portal/Discoverer, OBIEE/Hyperion/SOA)—I’m committed to quality and service.
