Cloud Database & Reliability Engineer with 9+ years building highly available, distributed data systems on AWS. I specialize in large-scale cloud migrations, real-time replication, and AI-driven observability — designing systems that stay up when it matters.
I'm a Cloud Database Engineer based in Texas, currently at Verizon — where I design and operate the distributed database systems that keep mission-critical applications running at scale.
Over the last 9+ years I've led enterprise Oracle → AWS migrations at Capital One and Fannie Mae, built high-throughput replication pipelines with Goldengate across RAC environments, and engineered HA/DR strategies aligned to strict RTO/RPO objectives.
Lately I'm focused on the intersection of reliability engineering and AI — using Python-based anomaly detection and predictive monitoring to catch problems before they hit production. My favorite kind of work is turning manual, error-prone database operations into self-healing infrastructure.
Outside the day job, I build side projects like PickStrike (full-stack, PostgreSQL) and an AI-powered job aggregation portal.
Designed and executed large-scale Oracle to AWS migrations using DMS and Goldengate with minimal downtime. Seamless data consistency across RAC environments and cross-platform targets.
Built high-throughput replication systems supporting distributed applications — active-active Goldengate topologies across geographically distributed sites.
Python-based tooling for monitoring, alerting, and full database lifecycle management — provisioning, patching, and backup validation without human hands.
Scalable PostgreSQL-backed application designed and deployed on a modern cloud stack — end-to-end ownership from schema design to deployment.
Python-based anomaly detection and predictive performance analysis — catches regressions, resource leaks, and failure patterns before they reach production, using historical telemetry and log intelligence.
AI-powered job aggregation system with intelligent filtering and prompt-based matching against target titles and skills. Generates a daily Excel of relevant roles and refreshes weekly.
Integrated AI-driven alerting layered on top of CloudWatch and log pipelines — surfaces correlated anomalies and predicted failures to on-call engineers with context, not noise.
Open to senior roles in cloud database engineering, reliability engineering, and data platform work. The fastest way to reach me is email.
