Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Konoplev is a Senior Database Engineer with 12 years of deep operational and architecture experience, currently focused on Amazon Redshift at AWS and based in San Diego. He has a proven track record of rescuing and scaling large PostgreSQL fleets—designing replication, backup, and hardening processes that returned systems from critical to stable while delivering multi-fold performance gains. Sergey blends hands-on low-level tuning (kernel/OS/FS, LVM) with modern DevOps and cloud practices—Kubernetes, Docker, Golang operators, CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana—to automate and operationalize database platforms at 10^2 TB and 10^5 TPS scale. His background includes building high-throughput analytical engines and refactoring core systems where his high-level flaw analyses became mainline designs. He also brings rare end-to-end experience from embedded logistics and large consumer-facing systems to cloud data platforms, frequently acting as the bridge between product, SRE and data teams. Quietly pragmatic, he often pairs research-grade R&D (fingerprinting, similarity search, custom operators) with production-hardened delivery.
