Top SchoolKeith Resar is a GenAI and vector database architect with 20+ years of hands-on experience bridging sales, cloud infrastructure, and solution architecture across enterprise and startup contexts. He blends consultative sales engineering with deep technical chops—spanning Kafka event streaming, Kubernetes/Openshift, AWS, Linux/RHCE, APIs, and automation—to translate business needs into scalable, compliant deployments. At DataStax he focuses on GenAI and vector databases after leading field engineering for Confluent and senior solutions roles at Red Hat and CenturyLink Cloud.

Comfortable advising C-level stakeholders and diving into code, he pairs an MBA-backed commercial lens with practical engineering to optimize cost, resiliency, and customer experience. Outside corporate roles he ships small commercial products (appointment.one, Email-Format.com, Pro-Speller.com), reflecting a bias for productizing useful automation.
