Welcome to Stack & Scale — a blog documenting my own hands-on learning with cloud environments, Oracle Database, and applied AI, built and tested independently in my own time.

What to expect

Posts here are organized around three pillars:

• Cloud — hands-on OCI work: provisioning, networking, security, deployment patterns, and the occasional “here’s what actually broke and how I fixed it.”
• Database — Oracle Database topics: performance tuning, Autonomous Database, backup/recovery, and practical DBA-adjacent work.
• AI — applied AI/ML experiments, tooling, and how AI intersects with cloud and database work.

Why I’m writing this

This blog documents my own hands-on learning with OCI, Oracle Database, and AI — built, tested, and occasionally broken on my own time, then written down before it gets lost to scattered notes.
