I build infrastructure that doesn't break under pressure. Oracle, Azure, and the glue between them.

DBA by trade. Automator by obsession. I run Oracle EBS systems, wrangle Azure cloud resources, and write the automation that makes both behave predictably at 3 AM.

01 / About

What I actually do

Enterprise systems don't forgive mistakes. I make sure they don't have to. My day job is keeping Oracle EBS environments running across multiple sites — backup validation, recovery testing, performance tuning, the unglamorous work that keeps businesses alive.

On the side, I automate everything that moves. From bash scripts that validate RMAN backups to Python tools that sync cloud resources across subscriptions. If I've done something twice, it's getting scripted the third time.

I think in failure modes. Not because I'm pessimistic — because I've been paged enough times to know that the system you trust is the one you've already seen break and fixed.

02 / Principles

How I think about systems

01 "Complexity doesn't announce itself. It accumulates quietly until the 3 AM page."
02 "Automation isn't about speed. It's about doing the same correct thing every single time."
03 "A system is only reliable if it can recover without someone improvising."
04 "The best tools are the ones you forget exist because they just work."
05 "If you can't reproduce it, you don't understand it. Document the runbook, then automate it."
