Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Bossman is a director-level leader in database engineering with over 30 years of deep expertise spanning application development, DBA, query optimization, and performance tooling. He currently leads Professional Services Engineering at TiDB (after helping customers design and operate highly available ScyllaDB systems) and has a track record of architecting optimizer cost models and stability features at IBM for Db2 on z/OS. Patrick blends hands-on tuning and query optimizer development with product and solution architecture experience, driving both developer experience improvements and 24x7 availability for mission-critical systems. Based in Sarasota, FL, he brings rare end-to-end perspective—from physical database design and complex data‑warehouse queries to building optimization engines—and often surfaces non-obvious performance gains by reasoning about data and input value skew.
