About

Kellyn Pot’Vin is an Oracle ACE and  database adminstrator for over 12 years, managing Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL. I specialize in performance tuning and creating systems that are robust and enterprise level.  I work almost exclusively on mult-TB size databases, including Exadata and databases with driven performance involving solid state disk solutions.  I advocate logical tuning of code and design before hardward solutions, educating customers on how hardware will only mask a performance issue for limited amount of time before explanations of the performance issue are again demanded by the business.

I am on the board of directors for Rocky Mountain Oracle User Groups, (RMOUG) serving as the Director for Membership and Vendors.  I am heavily involved in their goal of integrating into the social media circuit that is so much a part of all Oracle user groups and conferences now.  I am always open for any suggestions or ideas on how I can help RMOUG be more successful for both its members and the experts who wish to participate with this fantastic users group.  Please feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions about this site or RMOUG, I will be happy to help. I was also a lucky part of the database track for ODTUG’s KSCOPE 2012.

This blog is about technical issues and professional challenges all DBA’s often have to address in their careers.  For my daily battles and wins, please do follow me on Twitter as DBAKevlar or on Linkedin and Facebook under my name, Kellyn Pot’Vin.  My Facebook account is connected to family and friends, so please be aware, there will be conversations with friends, as well as my children and younger sisters which may either entertain or drain your IQ quickly…

====================================

I live in Westminster, CO with my three children and two dogs. I’m the proud owner of an ADHD brain, which means a wide bandwidth, hyper-focused and always working on 20 different tasks at once, so other than needing someone to slow me down every once in awhile to dot a couple i’s and cross a few t’s, I’m rather useful to have around!
