Top SchoolKellyn Gorman is a multiplatform database advocate and engineer with nearly three decades of deep technical experience spanning relational databases, cloud platforms, and AI. She currently shapes product and community strategy as an Advocate and Engineer at Redgate while advising and building data/AI initiatives for Silk, applying hands-on expertise across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and major public clouds. A sought-after speaker, author and mentor, Kellyn translates high‑end performance tuning and architecture into accessible guidance—running the long‑standing technical blog DBAKevlar and contributing books on database optimization, DevOps and gender equity in tech. Her background includes senior roles at Microsoft, Oracle and Delphix where she combined enterprise migrations, Exadata/Dataguard/RAC optimization and automation to solve large-scale production challenges.
