Manager Cloud Database Operations
CurrentWhile continuing management of the global database operations at Workforce Software I relocated to the corporate headquarters at the end of my expatriate assignment. This allowed me to take on the additional roles of scrum master and product owner to lead a cross functional platform support team. These additional roles provided the opportunity to greatly reduce delays in project execution time as well as provide increased service to our internal and external customers. The primary role of the platform support team was to successfully optimize our investment in our Oracle ULA agreement. At the successful completion of this project we increased our certified license count from 4 to 3200 licenses for a fixed support cost saving the company a significant amount in licensing and support costs.My next project was the deployment, optimization, migration, and upgrade of thousands of live client environments in thirteen legacy colocation datacenters into Oracle Cloud with minimal downtime. This includes conversion of a large number of environments from SqlServer to Oracle.
