Assisted multiple customers in developing trade studies and decision criteria for NoSQL database technologies. Tools Used: JSON, XML, NoSQL, Oracle, and Couchbase◼Designed size and tuned Oracle and Couchbase databases while integrating JSON/XML into the database design

Led complex military project requiring top secret level clearance. Tools Used: Oracle RAC, Cloud Control◼Reengineered the ETL processes for a legacy data warehouse; simplified and scaled the application, retrofitted existing processes with a new parallel scheduler, and improved the processing time as much as 85%◼Installed new monitoring tools and dashboard for database and application, providing immediate notification of application errors, improving ability to address problems quickly, & saving 10+ hours/month in lost productivity◼Addressed major networking issue that had plagued the database for years and accounted for as much a 60% of batch failures; worked with both internal and external (WAN) network teams to determine root cause and fixed the issue which reduced the batch failures down to near zero which made the delivery times predictable◼Implemented database migration strategy, moving application and database across country; developed process to address synchronization issues, allowing ability to resynchronize large tables in minutes as opposed to hours or days, resulting in winning new contract work

Championed various customer site issues ranging from high performance tuning, partitioning (sharding), physical standby (“Multi-AZ”), and BPM (Business Process Management) and queuing. Assisted C-Suite Executive to close deals and improve value proposition for high profile clients needing large enterprise distributed architecture and migration projects.
