I am a seasoned and passionate Microsoft SQL Database Administrator with more than 30 years of combined in-depth experience.

I do planning, installation, configuration, maintenance, upgrade, and decommissioning of the SQL Servers of the company.  All-in-all, as MS SQL DBA, I have a long experience in managing SQL Servers from version 7 to 2022, either on-premises or on Azure. I administer SQL Servers of various kinds such as Dev, QA, STG, UAT, Prod, or DR. I have a strong foundation about clustering, AlwaysOn, or other DR solutions like replication, log shipping, or database mirroring. I also have a deep understanding about backup and restore either using native or third party backup solutions. I have a long experience of troubleshooting and performance optimizations. And I have strict experience in securing SQL Servers and databases in accordance with SOX, ISO, and PCI requirements.
