Professional Summary:
An Infrastructure Oracle DBA that has implemented and managed Oracle databases in diverse industries. A hardware
engineering background has enabled a more complete systems integration capability. An industrial engineering and
MBA background has enabled a thorough understanding of the importance of system efficiency and cost containment.
The Oracle database is the core competency however, a thorough understanding of supporting technology is a
necessary requirement to achieve a stable and efficient database operation. Storage and archiving solutions from IBM,
Veritas, Hitachi, and Oracle have been successfully integrated. Operating Systems from IBM, SUN, Redhat, SUSE, and
Microsoft have been implemented. Oracle database versions 7,8,9,10, and 11 have been implemented.
Emerging technologies enable cost reductions when deployed appropriately. At Echomail, approximately 250
MSWindows servers were replaced with 30 Linux servers to achieve substantial cost savings on server licenses,
support staffing requirements, and archiving software licenses. At UMDNJ, workflow was modified and an Oracle
based application was developed and implemented for the purchasing department that reduced processing time 70
percent and integrated purchasing activity on three campuses statewide.
I look forward to assist your organization in implementing technology that reduces costs and improves productivity.
