Senior Cloud Architect I

Deep in databases. Building with AI.

Databases have been my craft for a long time — long before the cloud, and deep into it across AWS and GCP. I know what breaks, what costs too much, and what needs rethinking before it hurts. I also know how to bring AI into the work: into how databases are designed, operated, and accessed by the intelligent systems being built on top of them.
