Over the past 18+ years, I've worked across database administration, infrastructure, Linux systems, networking and production operations.
My primary focus is database and infrastructure engineering, particularly PostgreSQL and MySQL environments running on Linux.
My experience includes high availability, replication, performance troubleshooting, backup and recovery, networking, load balancing, monitoring and infrastructure automation.
Having worked across both databases and the infrastructure around them allows me to approach production issues beyond the database engine itself, considering the operating system, network, connectivity and surrounding infrastructure.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, replication, performance and production database operations.
Highly available database environments, replication, failover and recovery.
Linux systems, networking, virtualization and production infrastructure.
Terraform, Docker, scripting and operational automation.
Recognize misleading scales, aggregations, missing context, and panel semantics before acting on an operational dashboard.
