Senior AWS database contractor for urgent production work

I help NZ and ANZ teams when a database issue is too risky for trial-and-error: slow PostgreSQL workloads, Oracle migration pressure, Aurora/RDS instability, failed cutover planning, HA/DR gaps or a partner delivery spike that needs credible senior database depth.

When to bring me in

A production PostgreSQL, Aurora or RDS workload is slow, unstable or hard to explain.
An Oracle-to-PostgreSQL or cloud database migration needs realistic risk, validation, cutover and rollback planning.
Your AWS or consulting partner team needs a senior database specialist for a bid, design workshop, delivery spike or escalation.
You need a written RCA, runbook, readiness report or executive-friendly technical summary.
You need direct senior ownership without adding permanent headcount.
