I’m a dedicated SQL Server Database Administrator with over 6 years of hands-on experience managing mission-critical database environments. My journey began with a passion for data and a drive to ensure high performance, security, and reliability in SQL Server-based systems. Over the years, I’ve specialized in:

Performance Tuning & Query Optimization – Identifying bottlenecks, analyzing execution plans, and fine-tuning queries to drastically improve response times.

High Availability & Disaster Recovery – Implementing and maintaining Always On Availability Groups, Log Shipping, and Replication for enterprise-level failover and uptime.

Backup & Recovery Strategy – Designing robust backup strategies and executing recovery plans that minimize data loss and downtime.

Automation & Monitoring – Leveraging PowerShell and SQL Agent Jobs to streamline operations and ensure proactive monitoring through tools like SQL Sentry and Redgate.

Security & Compliance – Managing roles, permissions, and audit policies to meet internal and external compliance requirements.

I'm an Azure Certified SQL DBA, actively working on hybrid cloud solutions, migrations to Azure SQL Database and Managed Instances, and integrating cloud-native features to optimize cost and performance.

With every challenge, I bring a practical mindset, a strong foundation in best practices, and a commitment to continuous learning.
