LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/company/linkedin
LinkedIn is, well LinkedIn, the worlds largest professional networking site with over 50 Million.	
I was responsible for the Data Architecture within LinkedIn. I worked for the CTO office which defined goals and best practices to support the scalability and reliability needs. The CTO office also acted as the bridge between Engineering and Operations, this included setting up performance labs and metrics that were to be used to ensure that feature sets and releases will scale and would deploy without affecting performance and reliability in production. I was also responsible for the architecture to support the disaster/recovery needs and high-availability needs of the databases and data stores that supported LinkedIn.

Database Architect
SourceForge, Inc.
https://www.linkedin.com/company/sourceforge-inc.
Sourceforge.net was the worlds largest Opensource repository in the world, it was home to over 100,000 projects and had over a Million registered users. The site served more than a Million software downloads per day and had at least one user come to the site for every country in the world, any given day.
I was part of a small team of 4 that supported the SF.net infrastructure. I was the only DBA in the team and was the primary point of contact for any and all database needs.  I worked closely with the QoS team to ensure the reliability of the service. During the 4+ years at SF.net I witnessed over 4X increase in popularity of Opensource software and site usage growth. A major part of my daily routine was troubleshooting, and problem-solving.
Technical environment: PostgreSQL, MySQL, DB2, Linux(Redhat,Fedora), Apache, PHP, OSX

Sr. Database Administrator
Zembu Labs
Zembu was a startup that was developing a on-demand database replication platform. The idea of the system was to push data to the edge of the network and have databases self-populate with relevant and required data.  Put simply Zembu was to databases what Akamai is to content.
I worked on different teams within Zembu. I served on the operations team and was responsible to setup a 5 server asynchronous multi-master replication using Oracle replication. On the professional services team I met with customers and translated business requirements into technical requirement and feature requests.
Technical environment: Oracle, PostgreSQL, Solaris, Linux(Debian), Windows, ER-Studio

Sr. Database Administrator
Astata
Astata was a startup that initially worked on a contract to develop a web-based community application for students. Astata eventually moved into a niche market of writing web-apps and apps for wireless devices. They had some of the first apps targeted for Blackberry.
I inherited an inefficiently designed database that had to be re-engineered such that the monolithic database would be split into multiple databases with data flowing between the databases via replication. The redesign has to take into consideration privacy requirements.  I also investigated and acquired tools to monitor, troubleshoot Oracle.
Technical environment: Oracle, Linux, Windows, ASP, Quest Instance Monitor, Quest spotlight, Quest SQLXpert.

Misc Contract Positions

Dalai Lama Center for Peace+Education
Assisted with the social media strategy to sustain the momentum built during the Connecting for Change, Vancouver Peace Summit 2009. Focused on using technology as a tool to facilitate cross-sector collaboration between the professionals, who find themselves wanting to "give back to society" but don't necessarily knowing "how-to" and social innovators who know "how-to". Goal was to help grow the "Connecting for Change" LinkedIn group and make it a "go-to" place for professionals and social innovators to find each other, learn about each others strength, and collaborate.
