Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Linton is a seasoned Sybase and MS SQL Server DBA with 28 years' experience designing, supporting and migrating high‑availability and disaster‑recovery environments across major financial institutions. He has led large-scale Summit trading platform projects, complex multi-way replication and Sybase-to-Oracle Exadata migrations while automating processes to shrink environment refreshes from days to hours. Comfortable working with onshore and offshore teams, he blends DBA, Unix/Linux administration, job-scheduling (Autosys/Tivoli) and CI/CD automation to deliver reliable production and test estates. After a recent career break to train as a horologist and lead building projects, he is actively refreshing cloud and Windows skills (including Azure SQL and DP-300 study) and seeking to re-enter IT. Known for pragmatic documentation and training, he routinely turns operational knowledge into repeatable, low‑touch runbooks and on‑demand developer refresh systems. His unusual combination of hands‑on banking DBA pedigree and a craftsman’s attention to detail makes him especially effective at stabilizing critical systems and mentoring support teams.
