Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Ridgway is a Database Architect with over 10 years of experience designing, tuning, and operating complex database ecosystems across Oracle, Snowflake, AWS, and SQL Server. He has repeatedly driven cost and performance gains—migrating legacy reporting platforms to Snowflake, downsizing ExaCC CPU footprints, and shaving hours off batch cycles through SQL and schema rework. A pragmatic leader, he builds standards, CI/CD pipelines, and automation (password rotation, monitoring, alerting) while coordinating cross-functional teams for migrations, DR, and compliance. His work blends deep hands-on tuning (CBO, SQL Tuning Sets, RAC Replay) with strategic cloud evaluation (ExaCC, Aurora, Oracle Autonomous) and capacity planning. Based in Houston, he pairs enterprise-scale operational rigor with a knack for creating training curricula and proactive tooling that surfaces problematic queries before they impact users.
