Software Developer transitioning into Database Engineering, with a strong focus on PostgreSQL, SQL, Linux, database administration, and database operations.

I have 3 years of professional software development experience, mainly working with React and TypeScript, along with practical experience using PostgreSQL, Python, Docker, Linux, and AWS.

My current goal is to specialize in PostgreSQL database engineering and administration, building hands-on experience in database design, security, backup & recovery, monitoring, performance, and operational reliability.

• PostgreSQL administration
• SQL and relational database concepts
• Database design and data modeling
• Users, roles, and permissions
• Backup and recovery
• Query optimization and performance
• Monitoring and maintenance
• Linux-based database operations
• Dockerized PostgreSQL environments

I am currently building a hands-on PostgreSQL Database Engineering Lab designed around realistic junior DBA / Database Engineer tasks.

The lab includes practical exercises involving:

• PostgreSQL installation and configuration
• Database and schema management
• Users, roles, and privileges
• Backup and restore workflows
• Monitoring and troubleshooting
• Query analysis and optimization
• Database security
• Maintenance tasks
• Linux and Docker operations

The goal is to simulate real-world database administration responsibilities and document my progress through practical tickets and exercises.

• Databases: PostgreSQL, SQL
• Database Operations: Administration, Backup & Recovery, Security, Monitoring, Performance
• Systems: Linux
• Automation: Python
• Infrastructure: Docker, AWS
• Software Development: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, FastAPI

Before focusing on databases, I worked primarily as a frontend developer building production applications with React and TypeScript.

That experience gave me a strong understanding of how applications interact with databases, APIs, infrastructure, and production systems.

Today, I apply that software engineering background to my specialization in database engineering and PostgreSQL.

• Advanced SQL
• PostgreSQL administration
• Relational database design
• Backup and recovery strategies
• PostgreSQL performance tuning
• Database security
• Monitoring and troubleshooting
