CV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
Strong technical and customer service skills and abilities. Oracle DBA since 2000, (7+ years) (Oracle 8 OCP), and most recently worked with 9i production RAC databases running on Sun Solaris platform (Solaris 9), Veritas volumes and Sun Cluster 3.1 on Sun F15K hardware.
Integral member of team upgrading software and hardware to Oracle 10g RDBMS on Sun E25K hardware running Solaris 10, 10.2.0.3 Oracle Clusterware and ASM based on SAN storage. This upgrade was run in parallel with existing production DBA duties under change management in the politically charged environment of a government project with effectively three 'clients', all of whom had to be kept satisfied with levels of service and willingness to engage. Communication skills were indispensable in communicating with all levels of organisational hierarchy and non-business hours work was typical.
