Sikiru Adebowale

I am a seasoned Database Administrator with over 10 years of professional experience managing and optimizing enterprise-level database systems. My expertise spans SQL Server and MySQL, with a strong track record in performance tuning, disaster recovery planning, Always On Availability Groups, and system integration with platforms like SAP, MES, and Power BI.

I have successfully led DBA teams in high-pressure, large-scale environments, driving stability, scalability, and efficiency across mission-critical data infrastructures. Whether it's architecting resilient backup strategies, resolving performance bottlenecks, or ensuring compliance through strict access controls and auditing practices, I bring a solution-driven mindset to every challenge.

Beyond database administration, I have working knowledge in data analysis, enabling me to support reporting teams with optimized queries and clean, structured datasets. I often collaborate with analysts to ensure database design supports meaningful insights and business intelligence outputs.

My role frequently intersects with administrative functions. I maintain clear, audit-ready documentation, manage user access with precision, and handle high-volume data entry tasks that require accuracy and consistency. My proficiency in Microsoft Excel supports my ability to present database metrics, generate dashboards, and perform quick data reviews when needed.

I pride myself on clear, professional communication, whether I’m mentoring junior DBAs, leading cross-functional meetings, or translating technical database issues into actionable steps for stakeholders. I believe that technical excellence must be matched with strong interpersonal skills to truly deliver impact.

I am reliable, detail-oriented, and fully committed to operational excellence. With availability to work full-time within EST business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM), I am well-prepared to contribute to teams that demand both leadership and hands-on expertise.
