Project Manager
Download PDF | LinkedIn Profile
One role, four pillars. This profile is one of the four pillars of Technical Leader for Mission-Critical Databases and Data Warehouses.
Professional Profile #
There’s the PM who manages the project. And the PM who understands the project. I’m the second one. Thirty years inside Oracle, PL/SQL, Data Warehouse, performance tuning — for the last dozen or so I’ve also been doing Project Management.
What I recognize right away on a project: when a requirement is not implementable as written. When an estimate is optimistic out of pressure, not data. When the real risk is not the deadline, it’s the architecture.
10+ projects delivered between 2013 and 2022, teams of 3–7 people, budgets €100K–€500K, multi-country and full-remote. Sectors: Banking, Telco, Insurance, Public Administration. Scrum and Agile, certified training. What I bring: technical translation of requirements, early discovery of risks, one common language for both the team and the stakeholders.
Areas of engagement #
- Project planning and delivery — milestone definition, progress tracking, release planning, delivery coordination.
- Risk and issue management — proactive identification, mitigation planning, early escalation of technical risks.
- Stakeholder engagement — direct client interface, requirements gathering, scope negotiation, executive reporting.
- Team coordination and mentoring — distributed teams, Agile ceremonies, capability building, onboarding of new consultants.
Key results #
- Several hundred Oracle databases delivered across 30 years, spanning project management, DWH, tuning and administration.
- ~10+ projects delivered in the last independent cycle (2013–2022), budget range €100K–€500K, strong on-time track record.
- Teams of 3–7 people coordinated in multicultural, distributed and full-remote settings.
- Critical analytical batches cut from 4 hours to under 30 minutes through coordinated tuning and release planning.
- Surety DWH (Atradius) multi-country programme (4 European countries, 60,000+ lines of PL/SQL ETL) delivered with backlog management, cross-team dependency handling and stakeholder reporting.
- Oracle Cloud and Autonomous Database rollouts orchestrated across banking and Telepass-related workloads.
