About Me
I am a results-driven Database Administrator with over 7 years of specialized experience in Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle database management. I currently serve as a Database Administrator at PNC Bank in Pittsburgh, PA, where I excel in database performance optimization, security implementation, and large-scale cloud migration projects. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in managing enterprise-level database environments, having previously held a Database Administrator role at IBM where I administered mission-critical Oracle and SQL Server databases. My technical proficiency spans high availability solutions, disaster recovery planning, and database security compliance with GDPR and HIPAA regulations. My notable achievements include leading successful database migrations to AWS and Azure cloud platforms, improving system performance by 25% through strategic optimization, and implementing robust disaster recovery solutions using technologies such as SQL Server Always On, Oracle Data Guard, and RMAN. I am skilled in automation and scripting with PowerShell, T-SQL, Ansible, and Terraform. I am currently expanding my leadership capabilities by participating in Amazon's Leadership2 training program provided by Correlation1. I hold Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) credentials and Security-X certification, with additional certifications in progress including Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) and PostgreSQL V15. Based in Greater Harrisburg, PA, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise, cloud migration experience, and emerging leadership skills to database administration and enterprise technology initiatives.
