Why partner with Dipak

What you get that most
subcontractors can't offer.

Most agencies struggle to place database work that requires genuine depth. Here's what makes this partnership different.

🏆
Rarest credential in the region
Oracle Certified Master is held by fewer than 10,000 people globally. In New Zealand, you can count active OCM holders on one hand. This wins enterprise Oracle tenders.
Competitive advantage
☁️
Inside AWS knowledge
3.7 years as AWS Technical Account Manager specialising in databases — direct access to AWS engineering teams, deep RDS and Aurora internals, and real enterprise case experience.
AWS depth
🔄
The migration bridge
Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration is the biggest database project ANZ enterprises are running. Dipak has both Oracle OCM depth and AWS PostgreSQL SME status — rare to find in one person.
High-demand skillset
🤝
White-label and NDA friendly
Happy to operate as an invisible extension of your team. Client-facing or background delivery. Standard NDA or your template. No competing for your client relationships.

Engagement models

Three ways to
work together.

Flexible arrangements to suit your project type, client relationship, and delivery preference.

Named subcontractor
Direct subcontracting
Your agency places Dipak as a named specialist on client engagements. Client knows who they're getting. Best for technical credibility-led deals.
  • Named in tender and SOW documents
  • Direct client communication
  • Your margin on top
  • Weekly timesheets and reporting
  • Reference-able for future bids

  • Your branding on all deliverables
  • NDA and confidentiality terms
  • You invoice client — Dipak invoices you
  • Full discretion on engagement terms
Day rate · Contact for pricing · NDA required
