Eduardo J. Ortega U. is a Physicist-turned Computer & Database Enthusiast who has spent the better part of the last decade operating fleets of tens of thousands of database instances - previously at Booking.com, and for the last 4+ years at Slack, where he’s a Staff Software Engineer on the Datastores team. When he’s not wrangling MySQL, he’s with his wife and cats, or losing to a board game (most likely Nemesis).
