Anthony Duneufjardin has been working as a DBA for over 15 years, across Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server environments.
He started his career at Worldline/Atos managing production fleets of hundreds of database instances, then spent several years as a freelance consultant, including a long stint at Decathlon France running 300+ PostgreSQL instances across GCP, AWS and Aiven.
Over time he developed a strong DevOps practice alongside his DBA work, with Ansible as his main automation tool for database operations, complemented by GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines.
He now works as a DBA at Swissquote, a Swiss banking platform. His most recent project was a greenfield ExaCC deployment where he used Ansible to automate everything from initial setup to a full Data Guard switchover, delivered in three months.
He has a strong preference for open source technologies and tries to bring that mindset to every project he works on.
