Mike Gauthier is a Consultant Database Engineer / Administrator at SelectHealth at SelectHealth. He possess expertise in database administration, unix, troubleshooting, system administration, oracle and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "When I hired Mike, I knew he was the right person for the job. I have a very picky customer that was not following processes, code release checks, and databases were all different versions. The environments were a mess as the previous managers would keep assigning the wrong DBA to that customer. But again I hired Mike, he was the right person for the job. He fixed everything. All databases under his direct administration 50+ are standardized at the same version, patched regularly, backup policy compliant and restore tested at least annually. He has enabled many security related and advanced features such as listener lockdown, listener encryption, flashback, block change tracking just to name a few. All of which added to the better performance and lower cost. The databases under his administration have the lowest ticket counts and on-call callback of any other database. This is a real testament to the level of detail and dedication Mike has. The data shows that he was the right person for the job and continues to be every day. " and "Mike's efforts at FlipChip have made a significant impact on system performance and reliability. He is one of the most Knowledgeable DBA's I have ever worked with. Mike's position as the Sr. DBA at FlpChip means that he is on call 24/7/365 and is called at all hours to support the factory floor which he willingly does. He often works weekends and holidays so as to impact the fewest users when doing maintenance. Mike successfully migrated our FACTORYworks MES from an aging server that required continual reboots, to an updated server with rock solid reliability. He also implemented a fail over system. He did all the upgrades and fail over implementation with little to no impact on the production floor which is incredible considering the complexity of the FACTORYworks system. The net effect has been greatly improved system reliability and performance. Mike put together a test environment that was badly needed. Mike is instrumental in accomplishing many of the upgrades and re-architecture of many of our IT systems and takes on roles that are outside of his area of responsibility. He is a vital member of the IT organization here at FlipChip."
