Started career from 11.5.8 release with more vast role than ever performed which includes complete Techno-Functional work with system and database admiration. Functional work included 3C, Chart of Account Definition, Currency and Calendar definitions to setup new set of books, Master configurations of complete financial mainly for GL, AP, AR, FA module and then CE bank statements BAI2 and other formats integrations and reconciliations and to the extent to bring final FSGs for balance sheets and profit and loss statements at end of year and period closing. Role was so diversified because of my IT and commerce educational combined backgrounds that the learning I did in my very first career experience is still beneficial to me. In technical work not only done complete Application and Database admiration but also handled all related matters like backup and recoveries, integrations. Also done Development in same role using mostly Oracle Developer for Customized Forms/Reports extensively. Besides Financial also provided expertise for order management, manufacturing and partially for HR modules.
• Excelled my 15+ years career mainly in E-Business and Oracle Databases with some other Oracle technologies. I had also served more than an years SAP Basis too which was mixed role with Oracle Database administration. Therefore I have versatile experience to work for 2 major ERP giant software solutions. I have extensive knowledge of CCM (including PCP), Conc. Programs, Conc. Requests, Workflows and Notification Mailer and related business events which has become one of my major expertise interest due to business knowledge. Even in recent project I highlighted events to Functional leads which were reported by business for false notification triggering to suppliers. Functional team was unable to catch triggering event until I caught its process.
• Facilitated with my expert level administration of Oracle Database and E-Business including advance configs: and security testing, DMZ configurations and port mappings for firewall exceptions and F5 Setups. Automated Clone and minimized switchover activities timing. Setup 12.2 DR which is different setup on Apps side than previous versions.

Similarly expert level of experience in RMAN for over 15 years and for every type of scenario. Recently done Point in time Recoveries using RMan for special clone requirements and using DDBoost tape library channels. Linux, Unix, Solaris and Windows I have supported throughout my career. Most experience is on Linux and can do advance system admin tasks as well. On database side worked for every version include 12c CDBs, PDBs setups.
• Achieved target multiple times for advance configurations setup like for SOA, BPEL etc. Also done SOA suite setup and integration through dbc files as standalone application. Done setups for OBIEE and Hyperion. OBIEE over 7 years specially supporting for ETL data extraction from E-Business and configurations side. Used active standby to run batched ETLs. I am also working on Weblogic platform from at least last 5 years. Supported Discoverer, ODI and even custom forms/reports deployment and support over weblogic. It is now part of R12.2.
• I Also have vast experience on RAC environment setup and usage including ASM, managing ASM disk volumes and addition of space to ASM disk groups and knowledge of balancing operation.

I have unique skills in problem understanding and have an edge due to understanding of business operation and financial background and excellent understanding of financial double entry system. Also good in service enhancements and user friendly environment creation. I have good skills in writing and facts description and presentation. Similarly having excellent oral communication in a team and managing them to lead from front for delivery on time. It’s very important to communicate in team appropriately and timely.

All credit to my Techno-Functional experience in which I used excel sheets for master data filtration and even for capturing configuration setup templates based on some macros and lookups. Used word and power point for documentation and presentations.
• I am usually good in every computer application which is in my use. Also I am a very good learner.
• A quick example is Oracle Express Server for OLAP with Oracle Sales and Financial Analyzers which uses OBIEE concept and is based on data cubes. I learned and supported these old technologies for Confidential ME on very short notice which they still use as MDWRAT system for their critical production quality related reports. I can learn and manage specially oracle based technology very quickly.
