Database Reliability Engineer (SE 2) @ Warner Bros. Discovery

About

Database Engineer with 4 years of experience designing, optimizing, and maintaining scalable, high-availability database systems in production environments. I specialize in PostgreSQL and have hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, Timescale DB, MySQL, MSSQL, MariaDB, Arango DB alongside infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Liquibase and Grafana. In my work, I focus on: 1)Performance tuning, replication, and failover setups for production-grade databases. 2)Observability and monitoring systems to ensure reliability and uptime. 3)Real-time analytics and R&D-driven environments where scalability and performance are critical. I’m also a passionate gamer, and I’ve grown increasingly focused on how games operate at scale from matchmaking systems and player progression tracking to real-time analytics and live events. This curiosity has led me to explore backend infrastructure and AI-driven systems. I’m actively learning and building projects around: Scalable backend systems. High-performance DB setups for real-time applications. AI/ML data infrastructure (vector DBs, Timescale DB, data pipelines). Tech Stack: PostgreSQL, Timescale DB, MySQL, MariaDB, Arango DB, Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana, Linux, Git, Liquibase Areas of Interest: Backend Engineering. LiveOps Infrastructure. AI-powered Systems. Site Reliability & Scalable DB Systems. I’m looking to connect with teams and professionals in the infrastructure space and open to opportunities where I can contribute my skills and continue learning.
