Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Burgess is a Technical Architect with 13 years of experience designing cloud-native data platforms and geospatial systems, currently shaping architecture at Merchants Bank IN. He blends deep GIS/PostGIS expertise and data engineering with practical cloud skills across Azure and AWS, having migrated major healthcare and government workloads to Databricks and cloud environments. Comfortable in Python, TypeScript, SQL and Go, he builds production pipelines, REST APIs, and spatial web apps while mentoring teams and introducing CI/CD and governance practices. A pragmatic leader who values flat organizations and work-life balance, he’s as likely to optimize a Postgres ETL or Kubernetes deployment as he is to prototype an OpenLayers map—earning the whimsical GitHub moniker "Giraffe Whisperer."
