Tristan Juricek is a seasoned senior software engineer with 16 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems, currently an LMTS on Salesforce’s Sandbox team focused on migrating complex data workloads from OracleDB to a PostgreSQL fork. He has repeatedly driven performance and operational transformations—most recently improving big-data pipelines at VMware to handle peaks above 400k events/sec and converting bespoke deployment flows to Kubernetes. Tristan blends deep backend, database, and systems expertise with hands-on automation: he’s built horizontally-scaled load test suites in Kotlin, automated cluster rebuilds and CI pipelines, and managed infrastructure with Terraform, Chef, and Spinnaker. Comfortable across languages and eras—from C++ algorithm work and Java/Spring services to modern cloud stacks—he excels at moving logic closer to the database to gain efficiency. Based in Spokane, WA, he brings a pragmatic engineering style that prioritizes measurable scalability gains and reduced lead times. An interesting through-line: he often pairs algorithmic intuition with practical ops automation, turning research-grade ideas into production-ready platforms.
