Description
Specializes in rescuing and scaling PostgreSQL systems that have become bottlenecks due to schema debt, growth, or operational complexity. Recent work includes re-architecting two multi-terabyte OLTP tables (~2TB and ~1TB) handling 200+ writes/sec, improving scalability and reducing application-level complexity. Focuses on high-risk database migrations, dangerous schema remediation, hot-path optimization, and making existing systems scale without rewriting the product. Open to consulting or full-time roles where data is central and performance matters.
