Mine the
signal.
I design dependable database environments where performance, recoverability and data integrity are treated as one system, not three separate checkboxes.
Calm data
under pressure.
The DBA craft as a visual language of layers: core data, surrounding safeguards, and the operational signals that keep everything trustworthy.
Reliable databases
are engineered, not hoped for.
I work across production database operations, high availability, recovery engineering, performance tuning, security controls and migration planning. The goal is simple: make critical data boring to operate and easy to trust.
The DBA toolkit,
without the clutter.
Capabilities represented as quarry layers rather than generic percentage bars.
Three layers of
database craft.
Zero-drama PostgreSQL failover
Designed a multi-node HA topology with automated health checks, rehearsed promotion paths and recovery runbooks for a customer-facing transaction platform.
Query latency reset
Mapped expensive query paths, corrected statistics drift and redesigned targeted indexes to remove recurring production bottlenecks.
Recovery vault
Rebuilt backup validation around restore tests, retention tiers and auditable recovery evidence.
