Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnastasia Lubennikova is a PostgreSQL-focused software developer and educator with 12 years of experience building and optimizing database internals, index access methods, and backup solutions. She has contributed to core projects like Neon (serverless Postgres) where she worked on pg_control handling, WAL replay, and internal page services, and has been an active PostgreSQL contributor and industry speaker for over five years. Her work spans both research-grade database engineering at Postgres Professional and practical, production-focused back-end systems at Neon, reflecting deep familiarity with storage/compute separation and autoscaling databases. She taught a course on database internals at Lomonosov MSU and served as a PostgreSQL GSoC mentor and Code of Conduct Committee member, highlighting a commitment to community development and governance. Based in Lisbon, she combines rigorous applied-math training from NRNU MEPhI with hands-on open-source craftsmanship, often tackling less-visible but critical plumbing like control file management and WAL mechanics.

Contributions summary:Anastasia primarily worked on core back-end functionalities within the Neon serverless Postgres database. Their contributions included implementing a protocol message to receive pg_control data, generating and using pg_resetwal to create a pg_control file, and replaying commit and abort records in walredo. They also made code changes to the database's internal page service and control plane implementations, suggesting a focus on database internals and potentially, improving data storage and retrieval.
