Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolUmair Shahid is a founder and PostgreSQL specialist with 10 years of focused experience building high-availability, performance-tuned database platforms for enterprises. He has led product, marketing, and engineering teams at Percona and 2ndQuadrant, helping drive roadmap, OKRs, and market adoption that culminated in strategic acquisition outcomes. At Stormatics he combines hands-on architecture and operational playbooks—zero-downtime migrations, SLA-backed disaster recovery, and scalable BI pipelines—to solve the real-world people-and-architecture issues behind most database outages. His early career spans release engineering and automation at EnterpriseDB and complex migrations and BI implementations for large US telecom and logistics clients, giving him rare depth across development, ops, and customer delivery. Based in Austin, he pairs consulting pragmatism with product thinking, and still treats PostgreSQL problems as system-level puzzles rather than just knobs to tune.
