Deep expertise in Db2 High Availability and Disaster Recovery operations, including failover readiness, replication/standby health, and DR execution aligned to strict recovery objectives.
Proven ownership of Sev 1 / Sev 2 incidents, including rapid triage, service restoration, major incident bridge participation, and leading RCA with preventive actions.
Advanced Db2 performance engineering skills, including SQL optimization, locking/concurrency troubleshooting, memory/buffer pool concepts, and capacity/growth forecasting.
Demonstrated capability in backup, restore, and recoverability assurance, including restore testing, remediation of backup/restore issues, and audit ready recovery evidence.
Hands on proficiency with enterprise monitoring and observability tooling such as AppDynamics, Splunk, Nagios, using telemetry to isolate DB vs app vs infra issues.
Strong experience with DB/platform tools used in scope, including DBeaver, Toad, Foglight, and ITOC for administration, diagnostics, and operational consistency.
Ability to analyze repetitive operational patterns (access, provisioning, backup/restore, patching, batch failures) and drive automation and standardization opportunities to reduce run effort.
