Distributed Systems & Observability Engineer | Automation | Root Cause Analysis | Ex-Oracle |PMP® | IICA Independent Director

About

I work on diagnosing and solving performance and reliability problems in large distributed systems across database, application, and infrastructure layers. Over 18+ years, including 12 years at Oracle, I’ve worked on enterprise-scale Oracle Fusion environments running on Exadata — focusing on bottleneck analysis, concurrency issues, telemetry interpretation, scalability validation, and operational diagnostics. My work has included: * SQL and AWR analysis * JVM and thread dump diagnostics * root-cause investigation * automation-driven telemetry analysis * distributed systems troubleshooting * performance regression analysis * Python and Shell automation frameworks I built a modular diagnostics and automation framework that reduced post-test triage time from hours to under 5 minutes through automated analysis, graph generation, regression comparison, and operational reporting workflows. Currently focused on modern observability tooling, backend platform engineering, and AI-assisted operational diagnostics. Technologies & Areas: Python • Linux • SQL • Dynatrace • Grafana • Prometheus • ELK • Jenkins • Distributed Systems • Observability • Root Cause Analysis • Automation
