Ricardo and Edwin worked together at Safra National Bank of New York.

“I was a DBA at Safra National Bank of New York while Edwin was building and supporting the applications that sat on top of our databases. That means we worked together constantly, on schema changes, on query performance, on incidents, and on the kind of late-night issues that only show up in production.

Edwin is one of the few application engineers I have worked with who really understands the database side. His SQL was clean, his data models made sense, and he asked before doing things that would hurt the server. When performance issues came up he would dig in with me instead of tossing it over the wall, and we usually fixed the root cause rather than papering over it.

He is also easy to work with, direct, patient, and willing to explain his thinking. Any team that has Edwin on it is lucky to have him.”
