Senior🎓
Top SchoolManni Wood is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable, cloud-native backend systems focused on Go and PostgreSQL. Based in Somerville, MA, he has designed robust ELT pipelines and star-schema warehouses using AWS services, and today applies that expertise to cloud and Kubernetes work at EnterpriseDB. He’s an active contributor to pgx, having added nuanced PostgreSQL types and careful encoding/decoding logic, reflecting deep knowledge of database internals and data serialization. Past roles show a pattern of rearchitecting legacy systems for dramatic performance gains and operational simplicity—whether replacing Thrift with CQL/Postgres, speeding OpenStack Swift workloads, or shrinking monoliths by half. Quietly pragmatic, he pairs a librarian’s attention to data fidelity with a developer’s taste for efficient, maintainable code.
