My Projects

Database replace process

Developed a new database replacement process using Python scripts, replacing the previous RMAN-based method. This new approach archives and replaces individual PDBs instead of the entire CDB, significantly improving efficiency and minimizing downtime. The solution is now reliably used across hundreds of environments at IFS. Achieved this outcome in collaboration with my teammates, ensuring both reliability and scalability.

Monitoring and Alerting System

An in-house environment monitoring system developed to track the status and technical health of long-running development environments used across IFS. These environments, critical to daily development activities, are relied upon by thousands of developers. The system provides real-time visibility into environment uptime, resource utilization, service availability, and key integration touchpoints, significantly reducing downtime and improving development efficiency.

Automated the Oracle DB patching process

Designed and implemented an automated solution to streamline and standardize Oracle patch upgrades and rollbacks on Windows-based environments. The Jenkins-driven process enables users to initiate upgrades or rollbacks by supplying the necessary patch files and parameters, ensuring a smooth and error-resistant experience. Key automation steps include disabling conflicting jobs, selecting the appropriate patches from JFrog, and monitoring logs for completion. This solution minimizes manual intervention, reduces operational risk, and improves consistency in Oracle patch management across environments.
