Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Dempsey is a senior database engineer with over three decades in IT and more than 19 years focused on customer-facing product integration and support, now specializing in cloud-native database architecture. At Intelligent Medical Objects he designs and manages Oracle, Aurora PostgreSQL, and Redshift deployments across engineered hardware and AWS, advising engineering teams on relational, NoSQL and graph choices. He brings deep Solaris, Oracle and Apache tuning expertise and a history of leading teams and cloud operations to balance performance, security and cost—especially in regulated environments like healthcare (HIPAA).
