Top SchoolArtur Zakirov is a PostgreSQL Core Developer with over 10 years of experience building high-performance database systems and extensions, currently working at Supabase in Berlin. He combines deep C and PostgreSQL internals expertise with practical skills in Python, Go and Linux to maintain and ship production-grade extensions like parquet_fdw and pg_repack. At Adjust and Postgres Professional he operated on heavily loaded, multi-datacenter analytics platforms and contributed patches to upstream PostgreSQL and several FDWs.
