Senior🎓
Top SchoolMuhammad Aqeel is a seasoned Staff Software Engineer II with 17 years of expertise designing and operating large-scale build and release systems for PostgreSQL and EnterpriseDB products. He has led cross-architecture CI/CD efforts (x86_64, ppc64le, s390x) using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes, and built automation that packages, tests and publishes RPMs, DEBs, installers and container images across many Linux distributions and Windows. At EDB he created build farms, custom GitHub Actions, CloudSmith workflows and dynamic GitHub runners on AWS EKS, and at Percona managed tarballs and packages for popular PG extensions like pgvector and timescaledb. Known for pragmatism and operational rigor, he routinely automated daily container rebuilds tied to subscription certs and integrated security scans (BlackDuck) and reporting into release pipelines. He combines deep systems and packaging skills with hands-on C/C++ debugging and a background in teaching, which helps him document and transfer complex build knowledge across teams. Based in Islamabad, he brings a rare blend of long-term product release ownership and cross-platform engineering that keeps critical database distributions shipping reliably.
