As a dedicated SQL Server Database Administrator with over 10 years of experience as a DBA, I excel in managing and optimizing complex database environments to ensure maximum performance, high availability, and data integrity. My expertise includes designing robust database architectures, optimizing SQL queries, and implementing advanced backup and recovery solutions. My skill set extends to cloud computing with Azure SQL Database and AWS RDS, where I have led database migration projects, implemented high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) solutions, and addressed performance bottlenecks. I am adept at setting up high availability environments using Always On Availability Groups (AG) and Azure Auto-Failover Groups and Azure Geo-Replication. I also configure Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) and Long-Term Retention (LTR) policies, and optimizing Azure SQL Elastic Pools to enhance cost-efficiency. Additionally, my expanded expertise in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Python complements my core DBA skills, enabling me to integrate advanced analytics and automation into database management. My proficiency in indexing strategies, performance tuning, and cloud-based database solutions ensures innovative and reliable database management. Recognized for my problem-solving capabilities and strong communication skills, I'm dedicated to mentoring team members and fostering collaborative success. I thrive in dynamic environments and i'm committed to continuous improvement and technical excellence.
