I work on high-throughput database systems, especially when they’ve grown into a state where migrations, performance, or schema design have become limiting factors.

Recent work, using AI extensively:

- maintain a chat bot that can use psychometrics to adapt messages. - construct/evaluate a generic data warehouse based on deep knowlodge of AWS and DBMS

Weirly enough, I got an anthropic certification after all that.

Open to consulting or full-time roles where expertise on data is core to the business and performance/architecture matters.

Résumé: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardo-bellani/

This particular system is predicated on people actually doing the homework.

There were threats on 'cheating', but the system is failing at detecting the new 'cheating' mechanism.

I use quotes because what is being cheated at is the certification, not education. Mixing them into the same pipeline was always a mistake.

BTW: A tutor is a person. An AI is a search engine.

I specialize in rescuing and scaling PostgreSQL systems that have become bottlenecks due to schema debt, growth, or operational complexity. Recent work: re-architected two multi-terabyte OLTP tables (~2TB and ~1TB) handling 200+ writes/sec, improving scalability and reducing application-level complexity. My work focuses on high-risk database migrations, dangerous schema remediation, hot-path optimization, and making existing systems scale without rewriting the product.

Open to consulting or full-time roles where data is central and performance matters.
