About Meka Gerald Mofor

I’m a Senior Enterprise Data Platform, Cloud, and Oracle Applications Architect with 17+ years supporting mission‑critical systems across the Intelligence Community, DoD, and Federal Civilian agencies. My work centers on modernizing secure, high‑availability data platforms and leading large‑scale transformations from legacy Oracle environments into modern cloud‑native architectures.My background spans Oracle 11g–21c, Exadata engineering, RAC/ASM, Data Guard, RMAN, GoldenGate, WebLogic, APEX, and SOA Gateway. In recent years, I’ve expanded that foundation to lead complex Oracle → PostgreSQL modernization efforts using EDB Postgres Advanced Server, Ora2Pg, automated schema‑conversion pipelines, and secure JDBC/TLS integration for enterprise Java/WebLogic applications.I specialize in stabilizing legacy systems, executing zero‑data‑loss migrations, and architecting hybrid cloud solutions that meet strict STIG, auditing, and cybersecurity requirements inside SCIF and air‑gapped environments. My work also includes designing repeatable migration frameworks, DevSecOps‑aligned automation, and cloud‑ready data architectures that accelerate mission delivery.Currently, I serve as the Lead Oracle & PostgreSQL Migration SME and Enterprise Data Platform Architect for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), driving mandatory federal modernization initiatives and transitioning legacy on‑premise systems into AWS RDS within the Navy Cloud Environment (NCE). I’m known for bridging engineering and mission leadership—translating complex technical challenges into clear, actionable strategies that reduce risk and strengthen operational readiness.Core Focus Areas: Oracle E‑Business Suite R12 • Exadata Engineering • PostgreSQL / EDB EPAS • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure • AWS • RAC/ASM • Data Guard • RMAN • WebLogic • APEX • SOA Gateway • STIG Hardening • MFA/SSO • IAM • DevSecOps • SCIF Deployments • High Availability • Cloud Migration • National Security Systems
