Jitendra Kumar Email & Phone Number

Jitendra Kumar is a Lead Consultant - Database Migration and Modernization at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Colleagues describe them as "Jitendra was the lead MSSQL DBA in our AWS migration program, he had been helping us to design and implement the solution in migrating our key database from Azure to AWS. Due to the challenge of migrating huge amounts of data within the change window and technical limitations in supporting data replication with the existing technology stack, Jitendra explored different options and ended up with the proposal of using an opensource tool to migrate the DB in parallel chunks to meet the business requirement. Furthermore, Jitendra took the ownership to implement the best practices for DB storage capacity, security and auditing, as well as optimizing slow-running queries to ensure that we will have a scalable and compliant stack for future business growth. I am pleased that Jitendra not only delivered the solution, but also did it in an automated and secure way to make sure that it is of enterprise grade and be readily usable in an FI environment." and "Jitendra is an exceptionally knowledgeable engineer and it has been a pleasure to work with him. During my 4 years as line manager for Jitendra at Morgan Stanley in the Treasury Engineering team I have found his knowledge and abilities in databases and data warehousing has set him apart from his colleagues. He reliably performed DB2 upgrades and maintenance, provided expertise for optimising the performance of DB queries and servers, managed the scaling of the storage as needs changed and helped to re-engineer the mature system running on the database when needed. During our weekly one-to-one sessions he has always been open and honest, and has been keen to receive and provide feedback. He has learnt tools and techniques for project management and has been successfully running such when needed for a number of years now. He has managed staff of his own and performed this well, even when it has not always been easy. During the end of my tenure he took over senior responsibility for the operation and changes that take place in this global firm-wide critical regulatory system. I would heartily recommend Jitendra to any employer that requires a calm, committed and capable database expert, able manager and sociable member of the team. "
