  • Demonstrated success managing BAU operations alongside complex project delivery.
  • Expertise in SQL Server internals, performance tuning, high availability, and disaster recovery.
  • Strong project management skills with experience leading large-scale infrastructure initiatives.
  • Ability to quickly understand application architectures and data flows to support performance and scalability.
