About David Hinckley

As a Senior Database Engineer with 8+ years at Domo, Inc, I bring a wealth of experience in managing petabytes of data and ensuring the reliability of hundreds of databases. I’m dedicated to system redundancy and zero downtime maintenance.In my role, I tackle complex challenges like query optimization and automation, while being the admin for technologies such as Snowflake, Databricks, Vertica, and SQL Server. Collaborating with DevOps, CloudOps and Other Engineers, I drive system improvements and develop automated tools to enhance our DBA operations using Java and Python. Leveraging AI, I accelerate code development and SQL optimizations, drawing on my extensive background in Big Data architecture—managing large tables exceeding 10 billion rows. I thrive on reducing costs while maintaining performance, minimizing CPU usage, automating tasks, and enhancing the Domo customer experience through efficiency and innovation.“AI might not take your job but engineers using AI will.”
