The call I usually get:

We have an Oracle problem our team hasn't been able to solve.

That's where I come in. I'm an independent senior Oracle Database consultant working with a small number of consulting and MSP partners, and directly with companies running Oracle without enterprise-level support, on complex incidents, performance investigations and specialized projects.

Where I help

Twenty years of Oracle work, most of it inside high-pressure production environments for international enterprise customers.

Complex incidents

Second-opinion investigation when the internal team has already tried and needs additional seniority to move forward.

Performance & SQL tuning

AWR/ASH analysis, execution plans, and correlation with OS-level evidence to find the actual bottleneck, not the symptom.

RAC / ASM / cluster

Cluster instability, CRS failures, and the log correlation work needed to find root cause across Oracle and the OS.

Data Guard

Configuration, and strategic use during migrations to cut downtime and risk.

Upgrades & modernization

Patching, version upgrades, Non-CDB to PDB conversion, and consolidation projects.

Recent outcomes

Anonymized, from direct engagements. Detail available on request.

Complete CRS failure after a failed intervention, no vendor support available. Recovered via manual datafile and wallet extraction and full environment rebuild.
cluster down recovered
Patch window for an environment with years of accumulated inventory history, routinely blowing past the maintenance window.
4h 50min
Storage cost on a 60+ TB ASM environment where a single LOB segment held roughly 90% of the allocation.
60+ TB 4 TB
Multi-cluster consolidation onto OCI DB Systems, including a 12.2 to 19c upgrade and Non-CDB to PDB conversion across multiple clients under a limited window.
migrated via Data Guard

How engagements work

No retainer required to start. Every engagement is scoped up front, remote, and available across time zones.

for a live problem

Ad-hoc / escalation

Hourly or block-of-hours support for a specific incident, investigation, or project, billed against a defined scope.

before it becomes one

Environment health check

A fixed-price, fixed-scope assessment of recoverability, stability, performance baseline and patch exposure, delivered as a written report.

Consulting and MSP partners can also engage on a white-label basis, as an additional senior resource behind their own team.
