Schedule - PGConf.EU 2022
Dave Pitts
I have been working as a Database Engineer for 20 years, I started my DBA career with Oracle and SQL Server.
In 2015, I switched to working predominantly with Postgres. Between 2017 and 2021 I managed a team migrating 1000s of Oracle Databases in a very large & global "private cloud" into Postgres running in the "public cloud" (multiple DCs in US, EU, Singapore, Australia, Korea...).
In Feb 2021, I joined Adyen in the Amsterdam HQ and have been working on some exceptionally large Postgres installations. In Sept 2022 I joined Gartner in Barcelona to lead multiple DBA teams based in US, Europe and India, this was a very exciting role and I loved living in Barcelona. However after a year, I had to move to Madrid for family/health reasons and so decided to return to Adyen who have a new Tech Hub in Madrid.
I'm a big fan of Postgres and the amazing support from the Postgres community, regularly attending both pgconf.eu and FOSDEM. I have also presented to the Postgres NL usergroup.
Going forward I'm looking to getting the Postgres Spain usergroup events going again in 2024, we are now running PUG events in both Madrid and Barcelona.
Lastly I make music with my husband Thomas, check us out on Spotify, we even have a pgconf.eu song for Athens.
