Experience: Jan 2011 – April 2012 Cake Marketing, Inc. Newport Beach, Ca
SQL Server Developer
SaaS startup, Senior DBA, evolution and support of fast growing dynamic client base.
Ground-up infrastructure design
Architected using hosted implementation of active/active cross failover servers, geographically separated with
automated database/webserver high availability serving 80+ high volume SaaS clients. Fully monitored with
automated issue resolution, alert escalation and cross witness triggered failover of either or both of a
webserver/dbserver pair, all self developed for Cake Marketing. This enabled simple client migrations, patch
management, server reboots, upgrades and maintenance without any downtime.
Architected client on-boarding automation - from manual 3-5 day process to 1 hour.
Developed solution to automate creation of: databases, websites, failover databases and failover websites,
single and multi-ssl certificates and bindings, application pools, db security, initial data and configs, external
systems integrations via APIs, QA testing and release management. All dynamically based on specific client
requirements collected in a meta-data application also self developed. This project realized huge success after
a 760% growth (30 to 230) of their existing client base in 11 months. Each client brings a high transaction
volume implementation using very large tables (300miliion rows+) with a maximum performance latency
requirement of <1sec for multiple parallel real-time database procedures involving inserts, recursive updates,
merging large datasets, table triggers implementing updates, and all concurrent to contention sensitive parallel
threads doing read-committed queries over the same data in fault tolerant asynchronous mirrored failover
databases. Please inquire with me to elaborate on my development of advanced administration routines,
precise monitoring, complex algorithms for reporting and data warehousing solutions.
