# Fahad Azam on Tal

## Headline

Cloud Database Engineer \| Oracle \| PostgreSQL \| Redis \| AWS RDS \| Terraform \| OCI Exadata \| RMAN & Data Guard

## About

I manage databases for a living — and I automate everything around them\. Over the past 4\+ years I've operated 50–100 Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Redis databases across AWS, OCI Exadata, and on\-premises at Accenture and Cognizant\. The work ranges from Data Guard failovers at 2am to building RMAN backup frameworks that replace hours of manual scripting with a single parameterized script\. Outside of work I built a multi\-region high\-availability AWS infrastructure from scratch using Terraform — custom VPCs, RDS primary/standby, automated failover via Lambda and SSM\. It's on my GitHub if you want to see how I think about infrastructure\. What I'm good at: → Oracle DBA operations — Data Guard, RMAN, 12c to 19c migrations, Exadata → Cloud database management — AWS RDS, OCI DBaaS, hybrid environments → Automation — Shell scripting, Terraform, reducing manual work wherever I find it → Monitoring — Grafana, Prometheus alerting before incidents happen Currently exploring Senior Database Engineer and Cloud DBA opportunities where database reliability and automation are taken seriously\. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate \| OCI Certified Foundations Associate
