I started as an Oracle Junior DBA in the Y2K era and evolved into SRE and Platform Engineering. Each job was different but the core was always the same – making sure the data works and the systems stay up.
Today at Audiense I work on infrastructure reliability and the developer tooling that lets engineers ship autonomously – CI/CD pipelines, self-service platforms, and the cloud platform behind large-scale social data processing.
I’ve worked with Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and Elasticsearch – but the same principles apply to anything that stores or moves data. Fast memory vs slow storage, indexes, caches, partitioning. Different tools, same trade-offs.
