I have over 20 years experience in both small and large scale database administration and information systems development. I've worked primarily with Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server and have experience in both small start-ups and large corporate environments. Companies I've worked for include Oracle Corporation, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Yahoo!, and Science Applications International Corporation. I have performed tasks from managing upwards of 40 databases and making sure they perfoming optimally, to developing software that communicates with external serial devices, to developing basic web applications that interface with databases. I've also designed and modeled databases for both small and large (multi-terabyte) systems. I feel have a fairly wide knowledge base when it comes to anything having to do with databases and database management. Because of my experience, I understand business' sense of urgency and the need for both a high level of quality and quick turnaround times.
