"About Me – Dr. Corantin Talla

Hi, I’m Dr. Corantin Talla! I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a Minor in Botany from the University of Yaoundé, Cameroon, a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of North Florida, and a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Public Administration from Walden University. However, my passion for technology led me to pursue an Associate Degree in Database Technology and a Technical Certificate in Oracle Database Administration from Florida State College while working as a middle school science teacher in Jacksonville, Florida.

Teaching & Mentorship Experience

As a teacher, I studied pedagogy at the University of North Florida, developing structured lesson plans with clear objectives and assessments. My ability to simplify complex concepts made me a trusted tutor, often helping my peers understand database concepts better than our professors.

Senior Oracle DBA & Cloud Computing Expertise

Since 2004, I have worked as a Senior Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) with Oracle RDBMS versions 8i–19c and advanced technologies such as:

• RAC, Data Guard, GoldenGate, RMAN

• Data Pump, SQL Performance Tuning, AWR, ADDM

• Resource Management & Oracle APEX Development

• OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) Migration & Integration

I expanded my expertise into Cloud & DevOps, earning:

• AWS Certified DevOps Professional

• Azure Solutions Architect

• CompTIA A+ & Security+ Certifications

I also have skills in CI/CD Pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker.

Mentorship & Bilingual Training

For years, I have trained Oracle DBAs, Cloud Engineers, and DevOps professionals, helping them earn certifications and land top jobs. Fluent in English and French, I provide tutoring in both languages, ensuring that students master both theory and hands-on practice.

Let’s Work Together!

Whether you want to excel in Oracle, Cloud, or DevOps, I’m here to guide you to success with practical, structured learning." less...
