Professional summary
Experienced and certified Oracle Database consultant with over 15 years in IT, specialising in Oracle Database administration, SQL and PL/SQL development. I have worked across Oracle Database versions from 8i through to 23ai, and I care about two things in roughly equal measure: making databases fast, and making the people who run them confident.
Alongside consulting I have spent much of my career training — in classrooms, in corporate programmes and now at university level. The teaching is not a side activity; it is what most of the consulting work turns into. A tuned database that nobody on the team understands is a problem waiting to come back.
What I teach
My training work covers six areas, all taught the same way — concepts first, then hands-on, then a real case study.
Nothing here is taught as a list of facts to memorise. Every module explains why a thing works the way it does, then shows you the command or the console setting that proves it. That is why Module 1 spends time on the OSI model before Module 6 ever mentions a VPC — one explains the other.

About this course and this website
The AWS Foundation programme runs to 66 hours across eleven modules. It deliberately starts a long way from AWS — with networking, IP addressing and Linux — because those three subjects are what make the AWS services make sense rather than merely memorisable.
| Modules | Ground covered | Why it comes first |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 2 | Networking, the OSI model, IP addressing, subnetting | A VPC is a network. Without this, Module 6 is memorisation. |
| 3 | Linux fundamentals | Every EC2 instance you will meet runs it. |
| 4 – 5 | Cloud concepts, billing, global infrastructure, IAM | How AWS is shaped, priced and secured. |
| 6 – 7 | VPC, DynamoDB, Redshift, CloudFront, Route 53 | Building and choosing the right service. |
| 8 – 10 | Well-Architected, CloudWatch, SNS, security services | Running it properly once it exists. |
| 11 | Project, labs, interview preparation | Turning all of it into something you can show. |
This website is itself the course project: plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, hosted as a static website on Amazon S3. There is no server and no database anywhere in it — the quizzes and the final test run entirely in your browser. That constraint is the lesson.
