Database Sharding & Replication Topologies
Academic focus on horizontal partitioning strategies (hash-based, range-based), resolving hotspots, data redistribution, and maintaining consistency across asynchronous read replicas.
Ensuring database reliability, security, and performance.

CARDINALITY(skills) >= 5;Who I am?
I'm a Computer Science graduate, and databases are the part of the field I kept coming back to. Most of my relational experience is in SQL and MS SQL Server, built up over several semesters of coursework. On the NoSQL side, I spent a good chunk of my studies on MongoDB and Apache Cassandra, building multi-node clusters in Docker and testing how they behave under load. I'm comfortable working on Linux, and I take access control and data protection seriously, GDPR included. Right now I'm after a Junior Database Administrator role where I can grow into running production database systems.

Academic focus on horizontal partitioning strategies (hash-based, range-based), resolving hotspots, data redistribution, and maintaining consistency across asynchronous read replicas.
Theoretical knowledge of how data is physically stored on disk (B-Trees vs LSM-Trees), query planning, and optimizing schema design for read-heavy vs write-heavy distributed workloads.
Academic and practical understanding of replication and failover mechanisms — keeping data durable and services available through node failures, explored hands-on while building multi-node MongoDB and Cassandra clusters.
