DBaaS & Cloud Infrastructure | Multi-Cloud Database Strategy @Tessell | Oracle • PostgreSQL • MySQL • SQL Server

About

Electrical engineer by training. Somehow the universe decided cloud databases needed me more than power grids did. The power grid's loss, honestly :) I now spend my days thinking about multi-cloud database sprawl. Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, all running across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously, held together with legacy contracts and the quiet prayers of overworked DBAs everywhere. It is, objectively, a mess. I find it unreasonably interesting. I'm also building AI workflows on the side to automate the boring parts of my day. Not because I'm lazy, but because I'm lazy about the right things. If you're living in this world too, let's connect. DBAs, cloud architects, infrastructure leaders, people who have ever looked at their database setup and thought "how did we get here" - I want you in my network. Fair warning: I will not send you a pitch deck.
