What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can run production DBA operations end-to-end—HA/DR, performance tuning, and secure migrations—while partnering across engineering in an Agile environment and using automation to improve reliability and incident response.

I’m a Senior Database Administrator with 10+ years of experience managing, optimizing, and securing large-scale databases across Banking, Finance, E-commerce, Digital Marketing, Healthcare, and IT Services. I deliver production DBA operations, Development, HA/DR design, performance tuning, cloud migrations, and data streaming across on-prem and cloud environments—while aligning DBA tasks with sprint planning and release cycles in Agile/Scrum environments.

Across my roles, I’ve supported 24×7 mission-critical systems with a strong troubleshooting mindset, automation, and cross-team collaboration. I’ve improved replication stability and performance, executed data migration workflows (RDS to NetSuite), implemented real-time streaming using Kafka and Estuary, and proactively resolved incidents within SLA. I also bring hands-on experience in TB-scale databases, database monitoring/alerting, and hands-on DBA team leadership and task coordination.
