A founding member of the Oracle Management Cloud development team. Responsible for the application suite for Performance/Scalability/ReliabilityGeneral- Testing, tuning and scaling a massive 100+ microservice cloud architecture- Benchmark testing, performance analysis, profiling, and tuning of highly-scalable distributed technologies including Oracle database, SQL tuning, Middleware, JVM internals, O/S Kernel, Hadoop, Solr and KafkaPerformance- Tuning of Java agent and server-side code - Extensive R&D with Oracle In-Memory Database for a high-performant real-time analytics warehouse- Exhaustive page performance work to increase performance by 4-5x.- Tuning of Nimbula and Linux kernel to support maximum I/O throughput in virtualized environments- Testing and tuning of Machine Learning algorithms to detect anomalies in customer dataReliability- Extensive longevity testing, with fault injection- Stability and re-architecture of recovery and replication strategies- Performance/Reliability lead for Zero Downtime effort, involving routing rules between two replicated cloudsScalability- Extensive work optimizing for massive ingest, with eventual target of 100TB/day - Optimizing and architecting for 400MB/s data into Hadoop and publishing to consumers using Kafka.- Defining of data partitioning and aging strategyTest Automation and Reporting- Developed automated infrastructure for test automation, SLA monitoring and reportingOperations and Devops- Point of contact for operations escalations and devops for the largest performance test sites - Monitoring and alerting of production and test sitesLeadership and Project Management- Built a team of twelve engineers into highly effective Performance/Scalability/Reliability engineers- Conducted regular status reports with executives and key stakeholders- Championed Agile/Scrum - Developed and published coding, performance testing, and tuning guidelines for the entire organization

System/Operational Management - Design/Manage highly active production database systems- Built a continuous monitoring and alerting platform that monitored across the stack and took corrective action- Created a technology roadmap aligned within operational goals and budgets- Worked with cross-functional teams to create common architecture/technology standards.- Managed 3x growth over 1.5 years in Database Systems over the course of a capacity improvement project, and conducted numerous sql tuning efforts. - Implemented and administered advanced clustering, replication, and data management features across the Application/Database/System stack- Created robust and agile recovery procedures, and coordinated multiple disaster recovery tests; including business impact analysis and working with outside vendors for offsite tests. - Held devops role for multiple environmentsApplication Management - Engineered and implemented architecture for an active-­active clustered Forms & Reports 11g solution. - Operational management of Oracle Weblogic10g-12c: engineered and implemented Weblogic clustering solutions- Operational management/development of in­-house Document Management & Imaging system, with integration points to external applications. 
Application Development - Multiple database design/development efforts, in Java, PLSQL/SQL and Oracle Forms - Developed multiple integrations with vendor data streams- Created and maintained database development standards, processes, and deployment lifecycle. - Automatically enforced code standards using Rational Clearquest/Clearcase. - Created build/release process of all artifacts using Perl, Ant, Make, and Clearcase.

Tuning & System Performance - Led many SQL tuning efforts, involving customer code and Oracle Applications. - Resolved severe performance issues with data warehouse and OLTP systems in consulting efforts at Texas Instruments, Enron, Applied Materials, Echostar and Dana. - Measured and tuned transaction latency for Oracle Configurator and Cache products. Capacity Planning - Developed generalized mathematical models for Oracle Consulting to predict server capacity limits at customer engagements- Created and implemented capacity test plans for a major ERP implementation at Applied Materials, Inc., using Mercury Winrunner/Loadrunner. 
Product Implementations- Led first Oracle Consulting roll­out of Oracle Web Cache product, presenting a paper on the project to the Oracle Internet Architecture Symposium. - Managed implementations of multiple Oracle ERP projects with customized ETL
