Summary
Thomas Wojnar is a Senior Data Engineer based in Raleigh, NC with 12 years of experience designing and operating data platforms and cloud migrations. He has repeatedly led migrations of PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server workloads to AWS using CloudFormation and Terraform, and built reusable Terraform modules that improved adoption and reliability across product teams. Thomas pairs infrastructure-as-code with automated testing and CI pipelines (GitLab/Azure), and has a track record of cost optimization through Python Lambda automation (e.g., scheduled stop/start saving ~26% monthly). Comfortable in distributed Agile teams, he moves between hands-on platform engineering and supporting end users to iterate on tooling. His background includes full-stack and DBA roots—writing internal tools in C#, JavaScript, and SQL—which helps him bridge application and infrastructure concerns. He brings a pragmatic, improvement-oriented approach that favors automation, repeatability, and measurable operational savings.
