" Lead migration assessments (TCO, application dependency mapping, platform compatibility).
" Build migration roadmaps leveraging Data Pump, RMAN, GoldenGate, DMS, and other tools.
" Implement cloud native HA/DR strategies including multi AZ, cross region replication, and automated failover.
Database Performance & Optimization
" Analyze end to end performance issues across applications, network, storage, and database layers.
" Implement proactive capacity management, alerting, and performance baselining.
" Ensure adherence to Oracle best practices for Exadata patching, quarterly maintenance, and firmware upgrades.
Security, Compliance &a mp; Governance
" Define and enforce security standards including encryption, auditing, IAM, and data masking.
" Ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks SOX, PCI, FFIEC, HIPAA, or industry specific controls.
" Collaborate with SOC, InfoSec, and cloud security teams on secure Exadata AWS integrations.
Technical Leadership & Stakeholder Management
" Partner with application, infrastructure, and cloud teams to ensure end to end solution alignment.
" Provide architectural guidance and documentation (HLD/LLD, runbooks, resiliency diagrams).
" Lead POCs, performance benchmarking, and technology evaluation for continuous improvement.
