Oracle and cloud
architecture
for production systems.
Solution and integration architecture, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure design, database engineering, and security posture assessment, from a founder with 17+ years running production Oracle estates in nuclear, higher education and enterprise logistics.
Twelve Services in Four Practice Areas
From architecture and migration through to the operations that keep production running.
Database Services
Oracle administration from 9i through 26ai, SQL Server performance tuning, and security assessments that come with a remediation roadmap you can execute.
Infrastructure & Operations
OCI architecture and review, production Kubernetes, infrastructure monitoring, and certificate lifecycle automation: the layer that has to stay up.
Oracle APEX Platform
APEX applications, plus the operational half nobody advertises: upgrades, ORDS deployment, SSO, and multi-environment promotion.
Integration & Solution Architecture
Architect-level ownership of how your systems fit together: target-state design, vendor-neutral platform selection, then the pipelines that deliver it.
Selected Case Studies
Client systems we designed, built or ran, and the internal tools we use ourselves.
A whole volunteer operation on one Oracle platform
Intake, two CRMs, projects, e-signature, meetings, a public website and private AI, designed, built and run by DB Realm on Oracle APEX 26.1 and Oracle AI Database 26ai on OCI.

BrainWorks — Paediatric Clinical Registry
BrainWorks is SickKids' outcome registry for children with central-nervous-system vasculitis: a 148-page Oracle APEX application on Oracle Database 19c that clinicians and researchers rely on. It needed to stay current, take on new clinical measures without a schema change for each one, and be released safely against live clinical data.
Alberta Legal Clinics — Summary Advice Evaluation
The Alberta Law Foundation funds legal clinics across the province that give clients summary legal advice. To understand whether that advice helped, it needed client survey results from every clinic — initial and follow-up — cleaned, categorised and comparable, instead of scattered across spreadsheets in different shapes.
OCI FinOps Cost Analysis Dashboard
Clients needed to see their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure spend across multiple tenancies with accurate usage data and cost allocation by compartment.
