Designing, implementing, and maintaining Oracle Engineered Systems. Specializing in Exadata machines and ZDLRA appliances.

I spend most of my time designing, building, and implementing Oracle database solutions. I've done everything from single instance to RAC on Linux, Solaris, and Windows, including cloud migrations. I've managed multiple teams and have been the entire team. Clusterware, Data Guard, partitioning, performance tuning, in-memory, Exadata, SuperCluster, and embedded systems are all part of my background that spans back more than 20 years.

Oracle Engineered Systems architecture and consulting.

• Database architecture, including the management, installation, configuration, security, health, and maintenance of production and development Oracle database servers, and maintenance of the operating systems for their Solaris, Linux, and Windows hosts. • Providing implementation and troubleshooting consulting services to clients while adhering to the strict security restrictions of a market trading environment.• Implementation and management of a cloud computing platform.

• Database Architect at the Oklahoma City Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), maintaining 40 development and production databases, supervising 28 database administrators, and overseeing all new and migratory projects.• Maintaining security records for more than 1,300 Oracle databases residing on approximately 1,000 servers, making sure that all databases complied with Defense security and operational standards. • Increased workload from 5 Oracle database servers housing a handful of weapons and inventory systems to more than 1,000 servers hosting 1,300 Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, and Informix databases, growing our database administration staff to the largest in the region due to DISA’s restructuring from 54 physical sites to remote administration at 4 physical sites.

As a consultant for Union Carbide, I maintained their Technology database, a repository used to inventory any corporate asset that could be affected by Y2K issues.
