Background & contact
I’m Oswaldo Orona, a Principal Database Administrator at IFS based in Denver, Colorado. I currently work with Oracle, PostgreSQL, Oracle E-Business Suite, performance tuning, migrations, and recovery. My database and geospatial experience began in 1998.
My Master of Computer Science in Data Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) covers machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, data mining, visualization, and distributed systems. I apply that foundation to AI engineering: retrieval, tool-using agents, MCP, and evaluation.
I develop the projects on this site independently alongside my work at IFS. Each project connects an application to its engineering decisions, code, or recorded evidence. Read my résumé or contact me directly; the AI assistant is also available to explore my background.
