With a Bachelor of Applied Science in Horticultural Science from Jimma University, I have a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, and I enjoy working collaboratively with business units and senior management to deliver optimal results. I have 8+ years of experience in managing MS SQL Server environments for various clients, applying my Microsoft certification and domain expertise in HADR, RedGate, and Azure Data Studio.As a Senior SQL Database Administrator at Cognizant, I am responsible for installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting SQL Server instances, databases, and applications, ensuring high availability, security, and performance. I have successfully implemented disaster recovery solutions using Always On, WSFC, Replication, Database Mirroring, and Log Shipping, complying with RTO and RPO guidelines. I have also automated administrative tasks, optimized queries, and resolved locks, blocks, and deadlocks using native and third-party tools. My goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge to support and enhance the database infrastructure and performance of Cognizant and its clients.
