Group Benefit Division

Data Warehouse Architect / Data Modeler / DBA / Developer

Key member of the Data Warehouse team with the following responsibilities:

• Design, development and support of the Oracle Data Warehouse (7 terabytes),

multiple Data Marts and applications:

• Gather and analyze business requirements. Worked with business partners,

business systems analysts and developers to ensure that selected solutions satisfy the

requirements.

• Design logical and physical data models and data processing infrastructure,

collaborated with data subject matter experts.

• Provide production database support, enhance existing system and design and

develop new systems.

• Monitor the usage of database space and performance.

• Performance optimization of the database and applications.

• Resolve on-call issues for hundreds of production databases.

• Proactively work with other Data Warehouse team members and with the members

of other teams (business customers, analysts, developers, DBA’s and technical support

staff) to create innovative analytical solutions.

• Mentor developers and other DBA’s on the adoption of database standards and

best practices.

Achievements included:

• Methodology Development:

• Created an enhanced methodology for improving database performance that

incorporates analysis of CPU time usage and analysis of data input/output rates.

Adoption of the enhanced methodology has significantly improved performance over

traditional methods (such as SGA resize operations and tuning performance of

queries).

• Detected a pattern where Data Warehouse calculations were increasingly shifting

from regular OLTP to scientific calculations. That finding was used to properly procure

and configure new Data Warehouse servers.

• Modified the Data Warehouse release process to appear seamless to users,

eliminating shutdown and access disruption.

• Database Improvement:

• Routinely resolved some of the most complex and critical Data Warehouse

database performance issues.

• Created and architected the 2010 Plan of Development for Data Warehouse

performance improvement initiatives. The plan was implemented as a multi-project

initiative.

• Improved Oracle Data Warehouse performance issues by eliminating up to 50% of

the 700 Gigabytes generated by Oracle standard CDC staged data.

• Application Performance Improvement:

• Designed new Oracle database views with Optimizer hints that enabled significant

performance improvement within Business Objects reports (in several cases report

runtime changed from 2-3 hours to a minute or less).

• Designed and implemented Oracle logon triggers to embed ‘alter session’

commands into BRIO reports that extended available memory and significantly

reduced the reports’ runtime.

• Utilized Informatica’s powerful data transferring capabilities instead of BRIO

internal tables to significantly improve the performance of the BRIO reports.

• Created a solution based on utilization of Oracle temporary tables that allows

multiple users to run the same BRIO report with different data simultaneously instead

of sequentially.

• Automation:

• Automated process of terminating database users for hundreds of databases that

significantly freed up time for the DBA team.

• Wrote Perl programs that simulated DEC OS indication of file, and simulated the

“at” UNIX command for scheduling jobs in a non-accommodated environment.

• Development of standards:

• Created and facilitated the adoption of a new standard that eliminated database

links between different database environments.

• Modified standard Oracle script allowing automatic purging of StatsPack repository

data.
