Experience

Ten years, three companies, one craft.

Each role expanded the scope — from operating databases reliably to architecting systems that scale and pass audits without drama.

    Senior Database Administrator

    Third Organization

    Leading database performance, automation, and audit-readiness across mission-critical MSSQL & PostgreSQL workloads. Mentoring junior DBAs and owning DR strategy.

  2. Mid-career

    Database Administrator

    Second Organization

    Owned tuning programs across MSSQL and MySQL — reduced query latencies, rebuilt indexing strategy, and rolled out monitoring & alerting standards.

    Junior Database Administrator

    First Organization

    Started my DBA journey — learning production operations, backups, query analysis, and the discipline of running databases that people depend on.
