I have spent 19 years keeping Oracle databases running in production environments where failure is not an option. That means Exadata from X5 through X11, ExaCC, ExaCS, OCI, and Azure. It means migrations ranging from 100GB to 150TB. It means being the person in the room when something breaks at 2am and the business is waiting.

My most recent role before founding Sitratec was on Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture team, where I certified Exadata features for Oracle Enterprise Manager. Before that, I spent years as a senior DBA in enterprise environments where Oracle wasn't a tool in the stack, it was the stack.

I founded Sitratec to offer something the market mostly does not have: a seasoned Oracle specialist who operates at the strategic level, not just the technical one. The title I use is Fractional Chief Database Officer. That framing is deliberate. Most companies running Oracle at scale have database risk they cannot see, licensing exposure they have not measured, and no one with the depth to tell them the difference. I work with a small number of Oracle shops at a time to fill that gap.

I am also building Regent, an autonomous Oracle tuning agent I run across my own practice. Regent makes performance decisions inside your Oracle environment without requiring a DBA to approve every action, and it does so within the exact licensing boundaries your environment carries, never outside them. It is the tool I use to stay a generation ahead of what a traditional engagement can offer.

The entry point for most engagements is an Oracle License Risk Assessment. It is a structured review of your environment against the dimensions Oracle's audit team actually examines. You get a written findings report with a risk score, and you walk away knowing exactly where you stand before Oracle does. From there, some clients move into an ongoing Fractional CDBO retainer. Most of the time, the assessment pays for itself in the first conversation.

If you are running Oracle Enterprise Edition on-premises or in ExaCC and you have questions about license exposure, performance, or architecture, the right next step is a 20-minute call.
