Umair Shahid is the Founder and CEO of Stormatics, a professional services firm that embeds Postgres FDEs with organizations to run critical workloads in production. His work centers on what production demands at scale: high availability and disaster recovery, performance under load, security hardening, and migrations off proprietary databases, across cloud, Kubernetes, and on-prem environments.

Umair has spent more than 20 years in the PostgreSQL ecosystem before founding Stormatics. He speaks at conferences including Postgres Summit, FOSDEM, PG Data, and SREcon Americas, and Stormatics’ benchmark-driven blogs and white papers reach more than 15,000 readers each month.
