Data Architect | Sr. Database Administrator
Metro Manila
With over a decade of hands-on experience in database administration, cloud infrastructure, and data architecture, I bring a well-rounded and proven skill set that I am confident will add significant value to your data and technology teams. In my current role as Jr. Data Architect at Paramount Life & General Insurance Corporation, I lead a multidisciplinary data team, overseeing the design and implementation of enterprise data warehouse solutions, SAP integration projects, and automation workflows. I take pride in my ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions while ensuring that data governance and quality standards are maintained at all times. Throughout my career, I have built a deep expertise in managing relational and non-relational databases across on-premises and cloud environments. My experience at Yondu Inc. as a Senior Database Administrator allowed me to support health and insurance platforms while developing robust reporting pipelines and acting as a trusted database advisor to stakeholders. Prior to that, at Paynamics Inc., I led AWS database infrastructure management — covering RDS provisioning, EC2 instance management, IAM security, and PCI DSS compliance — ensuring high availability and peak performance for fintech applications. I am also passionate about knowledge sharing and team development. I have organized and delivered SQL training programs, brownbag sessions, and workshops, nurturing technical growth within my teams. I believe that a well-informed and collaborative team is the foundation of every successful data initiative. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise in data architecture, cloud databases, and team leadership to your organization. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my background aligns with your needs. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
