Bruno Almeida is a seasoned PostgreSQL and Greenplum consultant with 11 years of hands-on experience designing, tuning and automating production databases for OLTP and analytics workloads. Based in London, he combines deep Linux expertise with strong scripting and programming skills (PL/pgSQL, Bash, Python, Perl, Java) to build reliable backup, failover and performance solutions. As a former Lead DBA and long-time on-call engineer, he’s comfortable translating developer needs into robust schema and infrastructure changes and tuning kernel and query-level bottlenecks. He contributes to open-source tooling (pgbouncer, pgbadger, apgdiff) and has improved real-world projects such as adding commented-JSON parsing to a script execution web UI. Familiar with containerization and automation technologies like Docker, LXC and Ansible, he brings a pragmatic, code-first approach to operational database challenges. Practical, detail-oriented, and quietly inventive, he often replaces brittle third-party dependencies with lightweight, maintainable in-house solutions.
