DBA Fun Facts

🚀

Query Speed

A well-optimized database query can be up to 100,000 times faster than a poorly optimized one!

💾

Data Growth

Global data creation is projected to grow to more than 180 zettabytes by 2025. That's 180 billion terabytes!

Response Time

The average human notices a delay after 100ms. DBAs work to keep query responses under this threshold!

🔒

Security

The average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million. DBAs are the guardians preventing these breaches!

Beyond the Database

When I'm not optimizing queries or managing databases, you'll find me...

✈️

Aviation

Passionate about aviation and everything that flies. From modern jets to vintage aircraft, the complexity and engineering behind flight fascinate me.

Favorite Aircraft: Airbus A350 & Boeing 787
🌍

Travelling

Exploring the world, experiencing diverse cultures, and collecting memories across continents.

Countries visited: 42 Continents visited: 6/7
🏈

American Football

Die-hard New England Patriots fan. The strategic depth and team coordination in football mirror the complexity of database management.

Favorite Team: New England Patriots
🎵

Music

Eclectic taste in music spanning jazz, country, and hip hop. Music is my way to find rhythm in both code and life.

Favorite Genres: Jazz, Country, Hip Hop
💻

Web Development

Exploring the creative side of technology through web development. Building functional and (sometimes) beautiful interfaces is my hobby.

Current Stack: HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript
🖥️
