+ Conduct a thorough assessment of cloud technologies, selecting those that promise enhanced performance and high availability for the database infrastructure.
+ Strategically plan database migrations, adopting industry-leading practices to facilitate a smooth transition.
+ Provide expert management of databases within the cloud environment, including both self-managed and Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) models.
+ Execute routine database administration and maintenance duties, including database security, audits, and other standard tasks.
+ Forge and maintain collaborative relationships with vendors, application teams, and clients to ensure the delivery of secure, efficient, and scalable database systems.
