- Architect and deploy modern Cloudera ECS Data Services including Cloudera Data Warehouse and Cloudera Machine Learning.
- Lead major platform upgrades from legacy environments to modern Cloudera platforms with minimal risk.
- Build data integration pipelines connecting Microsoft SQL Server via PolyBase to Hive and Impala.
Enterprise Oracle and Relational Database Management
- Lead full lifecycle administration of Oracle databases from version 11g through 23c.
- Design and manage Oracle RAC and Extended RAC environments for maximum performance and fault tolerance.
- Configure and support complex Oracle GoldenGate topologies including uni-directional, bi-directional, and hub-and-spoke architectures featuring table schema mapping and data transformations.
- Execute seamless migrations of high-volume government and banking workloads from legacy hardware to modern Oracle Exadata platforms.
- Ensure high availability for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases.
NoSQL and Event Streaming Operations
- Scale NoSQL environments using MongoDB administration techniques such as sharding and replica sets.
- Implement, configure, and secure high-availability Kafka clusters.
Security, Compliance and Governance
- Enforce platform hardening and technical controls aligned with CIS benchmarks.
- Secure Big Data platforms using HDFS encryption at rest, TLS and SSL certificates, and Kerberos integration with Active Directory and MIT.
- Protect sensitive data including PII and PCI using Apache Ranger for dynamic masking and row and column-level filtering.
- Deploy advanced Oracle security tools including Transparent Data Encryption, Database Vault, and Audit Vault and Database Firewall.
Required Qualifications
and Experience
