About

With over 17 years of experience in database administration and operations, I am a Consulting Engineer at MongoDB, where I provide technical guidance and support to clients on MongoDB deployment, performance, security, and scaling. I have multiple certifications from MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle, and I am proficient in SQL and relational databases. Previously, I was a Technical Lead Database Operations at iQmetrix, where I managed a team of database administrators and engineers, and oversaw the design, implementation, and maintenance of database systems and processes. I also worked as a Database Administrator at iQmetrix, where I was responsible for database backup, recovery, tuning, and migration. I am passionate about delivering reliable, efficient, and scalable database solutions that meet the needs and expectations of the users and the business. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, learning new technologies, and sharing my knowledge and expertise with others. I am looking for an opportunity to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging and rewarding environment that fosters innovation, growth, and diversity.
