Jul. 2013 - Dec. 2013Toronto, Canada AreaI was responsible for several Oracle databases and applications to resolve performance issues at a Rogers Wireless Telecommunications company.

WorkCover NSWSnr Oracle DBA/ System Architect
Jul. 2010 - Mar. 2013GosfordI helped move the organisation from an AIX platform to a Virtualised Environment using Oracle VM on Intel platform. Reducing cost of hardware and support, but also saved money on Oracle licensing. All Oracle systems were upgraded from either version 9R2 or 10G to 11.2.0.3. Smaller systems were moved over onto Standard Edition One.
My largest undertaking in this period was migrating Oracle E-Business 11.5.9 on Oracle 9.0.2 off IBM AIX 5.2 and upgrading to E-Business release 12.1.3 with 11R2 database onto Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 on Oracle OVM. This massive project was challenging due to the small team of just one DBA, and two Application Specialists, who were also still responsible for Business as Usual. Incredibly we were able to complete the project in just 10 months.

APEXIAPrincipal Consultant and Founder
Aug. 2009Sydney, AustraliaDISCOVER HOW BY INTEGRATING YOUR SOFTWARE SYSTEMS YOU CAN EASILY GROW YOU BUSINESS. Struggling with your business systems and processes that aren't aligned, can be very time consuming and stressful, as you have to manage everything individually. Way too many small and medium businesses lose money every day because of business processes that don’t unify customer, sales and supplier data as efficiently as they should. More than 6 out of every 10 SMB’s in Australia fold every year because of cashflow issues, loss of revenue and poor decision making. Inefficient business processes and data management contribute significantly to the high failure rate. Common yet widespread examples include: - Data silos: You collect and store information across multiple standalone information systems, none of which are linked to others;
- Software conflicts: You can’t share data because information on one program is incompatible with others;
- Manual data entry to compensate for being unable to share information electronically. And the consequences for you? Wasted time, money and productivity, missed opportunities due to incomplete information, and stress. Your business doesn’t have to be a burden, by effectively integrating your systems, you will reap the benefits of increased efficiency and effectiveness in your processes – whilst reducing the disruption caused by having all your data in different places. Like a recent client, whose admin efficiency increased 70% after we replaced two incompatible systems with one custom web-based application to handle 5 tasks (orders, production, CRM, invoicing and inventory). The new software is fully integrated with their remaining systems and complements their business. We’ve helped clients improve their business processes for over 15 years, building solutions that integrate their different systems.
