Michael Adragna

I am a senior Oracle Cloud Architect with over 15 years of experience in database engineering, large-scale infrastructure, and DevOps automation, primarily within mission-critical environments in the banking and energy sectors. I have developed deep expertise in Oracle technologies, particularly Exadata and Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC), and have successfully designed and operated highly available platforms supporting thousands of databases with strict performance and reliability requirements. Throughout my career, I have led complex transformation projects, including large-scale migrations to Exadata and the implementation of private cloud platforms, combining strong architectural vision with hands-on technical execution. I am passionate about automation and have built numerous tools in Python and leveraged technologies such as Ansible to industrialize operations and improve efficiency. My approach focuses on delivering robust, secure, and scalable systems while reducing operational complexity. I am used to working in agile environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and acting as a key technical leader and decision-maker. I bring a strong problem-solving mindset, a commitment to excellence, and the ability to operate effectively under pressure in 24/7 production environments. Continuously evolving with new technologies, I aim to drive innovation while maintaining the highest standards of reliability and performance.
