Enterprise Database Architect

Reduced database outages, improved performance, and simplified maintenance: standardized database architecture and configuration, defined standard implementation patterns for different service levels, implemented periodic configuration audits and drove remediation. Created and chaired the database standards committee that investigated and approved standards changes.
Increased data security: defined remediation plans for PCI, SOX and GDPR compliance.
Reduced costs, improved time to market, and increased maintenance efficiency: justified, implemented and operated Confidential ’s private Oracle database clouds that provided DBaaS. Incentivized good project behavior by making it a zero cost option. Database server count for targeted applications reduced by 90%.
Expanded effort to cover larger and more critical applications while mitigating increased risk.
Created Oracle license cost management strategy: using VM isolation, Oracle consolidation, 12c efficiency features, porting of existing apps to an Oracle compatible database and implementation of new apps on a lower cost RDBMS or NoSQL, as appropriate.
Ensured that database service quality would not be compromised by insourcing: key member of planning team, lead 1 st transition wave, and resolved issues for each subsequent wave to insource support for 600+ databases.
Reduced outage and performance issue recovery and analysis times: justified and implemented OEM for all Oracle databases (previously Confidential personnel had very limited visibility into the operations of our databases). Provided training in usage of OEM.
Improved quality of interactions with Oracle support: defined and documented best practices and escalation paths and ensured that these were well known by all of the DBAs.
Reduced license and maintenance costs: established Oracle as Confidential ’s standard database and instituted governance, requiring justification when other databases were used.
Evaluated new capabilities and technologies:, NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Couchbase, Cassandra, Hadoop), Tibero, advanced Oracle features and Oracle appliances (Exadata and ODA).
Oracle expert who provided 2nd tier support for 300+ production databases and 50+ operational DBAs. Ongoing knowledge transfer through documentation, training, and tools.
