About

Enterprise-Grade Expertise, Independent Practice

I'm Kourosh Ashkon, founder of Infranexora, a division of Ashksoftware Inc (est. 2007). For over three decades, I've architected, administered, and optimized mission-critical database systems for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to government agencies.

My career spans the complete evolution of Oracle—from version 8 through 19c, including RAC clusters, Exadata, OCI cloud migrations, and Golden Gate replication. I've led database teams, trained operations staff, and delivered solutions that remain in production years after engagement.

When you engage Infranexora, you work directly with me—the same caliber of talent that agencies place, without the markup. With 15+ years of successful remote engagements, I serve clients across the United States and internationally.
