Prashant Goel — Product Manager

I’ve spent two decades helping teams make databases perform, scale, and evolve. Along the way, I’ve learned that migrations and performance tuning are never just technical — they are about people, planning, and the confidence to run mission-critical systems without fear. My journey has taken me from global enterprises like Oracle, Rackspace, and Landis+Gyr to fast-moving startups. I have designed data architecture for the world’s largest AMI deployment in Japan, troubleshot critical go-lives under pressure, and led Oracle/SQL Server → PostgreSQL migrations that transformed products and upskilled entire teams. Performance tuning has been a constant across my career. Whether it’s Oracle, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server, I specialize in finding the bottlenecks others miss — and unlocking scalability, stability, and speed for systems that can’t afford to slow down. Crucially, my expertise goes beyond database parameters and configurations. I work at the intersection of applications and databases — optimizing queries, streamlining data access patterns, and tuning end-to-end workflows so the entire system runs efficiently, not just the database engine. What I’m most proud of isn’t just the systems we’ve built, but the people I’ve trained along the way. From DBAs to developers to testers, I’ve run sessions that turned skepticism into confidence — helping teams adopt PostgreSQL and modern practices with clarity. Being recognized as Trainer of the Year in my current company was special, but the real reward is seeing others grow. Today, my focus is on three things: optimizing Oracle/PostgreSQL/SQL Server performance at scale, driving successful database migrations with minimal risk and downtime, and mentoring teams so they can thrive in this evolving landscape. If you care about building resilient systems — or helping people unlock their potential through technology — we already have something in common.
