Geoff Montee is a Customer Success Engineer with 12 years of deep hands-on experience in relational databases, high availability, and database security, currently working at ScyllaDB and contributing long-term to the PostgreSQL ecosystem. He began building WAMP/LAMP stacks in high school and progressed to leading MySQL and PostgreSQL operations for U.S. federal systems, including multi-site replication and automated failover. Geoff pairs practical DBA skills with tooling and automation experience from roles at MariaDB and as a PostgreSQL extension developer (maintainer of tds_fdw), helping applications query SQL Server and Sybase from Postgres. He focuses on making row-level security and external authorization nearly invisible to applications and streamlining replication strategies across MySQL, Galera, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. Known for blending technical writing, UX-aware documentation practices, and competitive analysis, he improves internal processes and the developer experience. Based in Nevada, he stays motivated by continuously tackling non-routine problems in open source and production environments.
