Message

At Amplitude, I own database architecture and operational improvements for production services. By applying PostgreSQL physical design, indexing, and query optimization, I reduced recurring performance issues by ~30%.

I built Bash and SQL scripts to automate database health checks and maintenance, cutting routine DBA toil by ~25%. I also designed backup and recovery procedures and validated replication and restore workflows, reducing recovery preparation time by ~35%.

Previously, at Drata, Chewy, and Haneke Design, I administered and improved PostgreSQL and other relational database environments. My work included query tuning, migration support, production troubleshooting, and operational automation.
