About Myself

I am a database professional with 15 years of experience across healthcare, utility, banking, and product-based environments, including Oracle. My core strength is building and operating reliable database platforms at scale.

My work covers Oracle Database 10g through 26ai, Exadata, RAC, ASM, Data Guard, GoldenGate, RMAN, patching, upgrades, performance tuning, backup and recovery, migration, and large-scale production operations.

I also bring SRE, DevOps, product-owner, and project-management experience: working with customers, coordinating across teams, supporting hiring and training, and turning operational needs into practical engineering improvements.
