Database Administration · Performance · Reliability

I forge resilient data systems.

Database Administrator focused on secure architecture, high availability, intelligent performance tuning, and calm operations when the data layer cannot afford to fail.

01 / PROFILE

Built for the layer beneath everything.

I design and operate database environments that stay predictable under growth, traffic spikes, deployments, and recovery events. My approach blends engineering discipline with operational pragmatism: automate what repeats, measure what matters, and rehearse recovery before it is needed.
