About

I’m a Senior Specialist Consultant – Databases and AI at AWS, working with government, enterprise, and startup customers to design and scale highly resilient, mission-critical data platforms. With deep expertise in PostgreSQL, Oracle, and purpose-built NoSQL databases, I help organizations modernize legacy systems, drive down costs, and adopt cloud-native solutions that power innovation at scale.

I specialize in Amazon Aurora (including Aurora Limitless and DSQL), RDS, DynamoDB, Redis, Cassandra, and have architected globally distributed, ultra-low-latency systems for financial services, public sector, and healthcare industries. I've helped fintech customers build state-of-the-art disaster recovery (DR) architectures with Aurora Global and Limitless, improving P99 latencies by 35%, reducing DR RTO from 3 hours to under 2 minutes, and achieving zero-data-loss resilience with multi-region active-active setups.

With strong experience in big data and analytics platforms including Amazon EMR, S3, Glue, Kinesis, Athena, Delta Lakes, Apache Iceberg S3 Tables, Lake Formation Governed Tables, Spark and Hive I support customers in building secure, scalable data lakes that fuel GenAI and RAG-based agentic systems. I’ve enabled AI-driven applications for fraud detection, real-time risk modelling, and hyper-personalized experiences, reducing fraud losses by $6M/year and increasing e-commerce MRR by $1.8M.

I’m passionate about database optimization. I’ve helped clients:

Improve PostgreSQL write performance by 60% using HOT-friendly schema design

Reduce storage/vacuum overhead by 30% through better indexing and data modeling

Eliminate unnecessary writes to JSONB/BLOB fields and streamline event-driven pipelines

Offload 70% of read traffic to replicas, cutting Aurora costs by 25%

I’ve led petabyte-scale cloud migrations with zero downtime, orchestrated Oracle Exadata rollouts (X4–X9M) for major banks like Westpac.

🎯 Key Impacts:

$1.2M/year saved via Oracle-to-PostgreSQL modernization

22% increase in eCommerce cart conversion using GenAI

99.999% uptime for SaaS clients with multi-region replication

60% reduction in data pipeline costs using serverless and NoSQL

PostgreSQL 18: The Ideal Foundation for Distributed, Scalable, and Analytical Applications at PG Down Under 2025

presented by Ravi Kiran Venkata Bhaskarabhatta
Modern day applications are increasingly expected to deliver flexibility and scalability to meet the demands of global users and unpredictable workloads. Organizations require databases that can dynamically grow beyond the boundaries of traditional CPU, memory, and storage often scaling horizontally. These applications are being redesigned to support distributed systems capable of delivering ul...
