I'm a holistic system software engineer, PostgreSQL solutions architect at EDB, air guitar player and headbanger. I got my PhD researching distributed self-managing systems and I have been working with PostgreSQL since version 9.1. In 2018 I started the PostgreSQL User Group in Belgium. I have presented in many conferences in academia, open source, and Postgres. I’m also a co-author of the PostgreSQL 16 Administration Cookbook. To me, knowledge sharing is an important part of contributing to the PostgreSQL community, and I have fun doing it.
