What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am an AWS Senior Database Engineer with over 7 years of experience in provisioning and administering Linux servers and managing database infrastructures. My journey in technology has been marked by a commitment to open source software, where I actively contribute to projects like Atuin and Ansible Collections. I am currently pursuing my first open source project, pgFirstAid, which reflects my dedication to continuous learning and mentorship.

Throughout my career, I have developed and transitioned teams into Database Engineer roles, creating robust database infrastructures based on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform. My experience includes leading a team of Database Engineers at RxBenefits, where I focus on database performance tuning, monitoring, and implementing CI/CD pipelines. I pride myself on my attention to detail, time management skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams to deliver complex solutions.
