Executive Summary
I am an Oracle DBA with over six years of experience and has worked extensively on migration and upgrade within and outside data-center using data guard. He has experience with RAC, 12c upgrade, data guard, Grid control, ASM, RMAN and Golden Gate monitoring. I have been involved with different teams, including development, testing and QA. I have extensive experience with RMAN, SQL Query tuning, Shell Scripting, DB Console, OEM, RDBMS availability, Storage, ASM and data guard failover and failback over standby databases efficiently. I have been involved in recovery, restore, and data back-up process. I have handled databases up to 2.5 TB size. I have hands on experience on OS i-e AIX, SOLARIS, HP-US, LINUX and Windows servers. I have conducted various team meetings, supervised DBA team and provided the issues, presented them to improvements and solutions.

Work with customers for different RAC related issues: [hangcheck timer, split brain, huge pages setup etc].
Troubleshoot performance issues for the RAC instances (GC events).
Install, maintain and tune Oracle 11g RAC databases including ASM and CRS.
Monitor and troubleshoot Database Replication issues using Golden Gate, dealt with conflict resolution and performance issues.
Recover Golden Gate corruptions and managing host/cluster maintenance mode blackouts.
Gain experience with Logical backups EXPDP/IMPDP and extensively used for Re-hosting the application using Golden Gate and worked with conventional EXP/IMP for migrating data from 10g to 11g.
Implement Initial Data Load, Batch/Online replication, Security in Golden Gate and implement Oracle database 12c RAC databases using Oracle Clusterware for achieving high availability.
Work on POC of 12c new features like Redaction policy, adaptive query optimization, multiple indexes on single columns, Restore table through RMAN, etc.
Clone/duplicate of database with RMAN and user-managed (hot/cold) backups.
Resolve the performance issue in database 12c using automatic big data caching, full database caching and In-Memory Aggregation features.
Gain hands on experience in cloning the non-multitenant container database to pluggable database in 12c using the PDB Metadata clone, PDB Remote Clone and PDB Snapshot cloning feature.

Perform Database Services creation for distributing the applications across multiple nodes, extensively used all command line utilities SRVCTL, CRSCTL, ADR, and ASMCMD.
Redefine tables using DBMS_REDEFINITION, partitioning the tables in the production, re-defining the columns data types, and moving the LOBS to different tablespace.
Partition tables Maintenance, adding new partitions, exchanging one-year old partitions then archiving of the exchanged partitions, dropping or truncating of old portions.
Develop RMAN Backup strategies for cloning the test databases with the production environment and worked on RMAN active-active duplication.
Schedule RMAN backups, purge jobs, Maintenance Jobs using DBMS_JOBS, DBMS_SCHEDULER, Crontab and $UNIVERSE.
Design and implement different backup strategies like Cold, Hot, MAN with Flash Recovery Area and Logical Backups EXPDP/IMPDP.
Handle Chained Rows and Row migration and solved the database performance issues.
Experience with ASM, adding, deleting disks to the disk group.
Support development teams for all the database related issues and handled the critical issues like network failures and ASM DISK group errors and node failures in the RAC cluster.
