What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles focused on automated database migrations, high-availability engineering, and DevOps-driven infrastructure in collaborative, security-conscious teams.

I am a Senior Oracle Database Engineer with deep expertise in Oracle RAC, Exadata, Data Guard, GoldenGate and Zero Downtime Migration, delivering scalable, automated solutions across enterprise environments. I design and implement automated migration strategies and patching lifecycles using Ansible and Automic Workflow, and I serve as a technical liaison on complex Oracle Cloud@Customer and ZDM projects.

I have led investigations into physical and logical migration approaches, developed standardized Zero Downtime Migration blueprints, and driven automated deployment lifecycles for improved security and compliance. I blend a strong operational foundation with DevOps practices to enable reliable, repeatable, near-zero-downtime outcomes for critical database platforms.
