· Design migration runbooks (discovery/assessment, PoC, replication/CDC, cutover, rollback) including data validation and integrity checks, Oracle feature compatibility review (e.g., options/packs), encryption considerations (e.g., TDE), and minimal downtime execution.
· Perform Oracle performance tuning and operational readiness on AWS (parameter tuning, indexing, AWR/ASH analysis, backup/restore strategy, maintenance automation, and monitoring using CloudWatch and Oracle tooling).
