The Professional Behind the Data

Jean Abdiel Momo

Turning Complex Data Challenges into Cloud Solutions

I am a bilingual (French/English) Azure Cloud and Database specialist with over 12 years of IT experience, including 8+ years specialized in enterprise database administration. I currently serve as Senior DBA at BDC (Banque de développement du Canada) in Montréal, where I manage mission-critical 24/7 production environments spanning 300+ SQL Server instances on-premise and in Azure.

My work spans the full data lifecycle — from SQL Server performance tuning and high availability architecture (Always On, Log Shipping, Clustering) to cloud migrations on Azure and automation via PowerShell. I am also the founder of MEZA TECH EDUCATION, where I deliver technology education and Microsoft certification training.

Certified as an Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, Azure DBA Associate, and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), I bring both deep technical authority and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly.
