I’m Robert Moayedzadeh, a seasoned Oracle Database Administrator based in Atlanta, Georgia. With years of hands-on experience managing complex Oracle environments — from RAC and Exadata to large-scale cloud migrations — I’ve helped organizations move critical workloads to OCI with minimal downtime and maximum performance. Through DBA Dispatch, I share practical insights, battle-tested strategies, and no-fluff guidance on Oracle performance tuning, Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM), GoldenGate, Autonomous Database, and everything in between. If you’re a DBA navigating the shift to the cloud, you’re in the right place.
