- Multi-Platform Governance: Lead the end-to-end administration of Oracle (12c/19c) and PostgreSQL (14/15/16) across on-prem and AWS environments (RDS, Aurora, and EC2).
- Cloud Architecture & Migration: Drive the "Cloud-First" strategy by migrating complex Oracle workloads to PostgreSQL/Aurora using AWS DMS and SCT where applicable.
- High Availability & DR: Architect robust failover strategies using Oracle Data Guard and Postgres Streaming Replication; manage Multi-AZ deployments and global read replicas.
- Performance Engineering: Conduct deep-stack tuning—from SQL query optimization and indexing strategies to kernel-level parameter adjustments in both PL/SQL and PG/SQL environments.
- Automation & IaC: Proactively reduce "toil" by automating routine maintenance, patching, and provisioning using Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Shell scripting.
- Security & Compliance: Implement enterprise-grade security protocols, including TDE (Transparent Data Encryption), IAM database authentication, and rigorous auditing standards.
