IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Oracle DBA and automation specialist with over 16 years of experience, focused on database performance optimization, operational efficiency, and reliable platform execution. I specialize in Autonomous Database capabilities, including implementing 23ai for autonomous and non-autonomous functionality.
In my current role at NTT Data, I’ve improved application performance by resolving contention issues and achieving measurable outcomes like reducing query execution time from 20 minutes to 4 minutes and improving application performance by 40%. I also automated the quarterly patching process for 300+ databases, cutting completion time to 15 days (down from 2 months manually).
I design robust database architectures and automate administrative workflows using shell scripting, PL/SQL, and Python, while leveraging machine learning to predict database issues and optimize maintenance schedules with 90%+ accuracy using algorithms such as Linear Regression and Multinomial Naïve Bayes. I lead teams across mission-critical environments, driving disaster recovery strategy, monitoring, migrations/upgrades, and continuous process improvements.
