What I'm looking for

I’m looking for platform or database engineering roles at companies that run a PostgreSQL PaaS or contribute to PostgreSQL upstream.

At TigerData (formerly Timescale), I built and operated capabilities for a managed PostgreSQL cloud platform using Go, Kubernetes, and AWS. I contributed to production reliability and automation for cloud database services.

At PlanetScale, I contributed to Kubernetes operators and systems for backups, database lifecycle operations, and cross-region replication. I also participated in production incident response and helped investigate PostgreSQL failures.

As Owner and PostgreSQL Consultant at SWebber IT Services, I advise development and operations teams on PostgreSQL and AWS architecture, reliability, operations, and troubleshooting.
