Hi. My name is Bernie Pruss. Welcome to my site. I am a technology leader who specializes in designing and building high-performance databases, typically but not always for reporting and analytics.

"I care deeply about user experience and protecting the environment—the planet and those inhabiting it. I am an engineer at heart, trained by the Navy to operate nuclear reactors. That experience, along with my time as a naval officer driving ships, has profoundly impacted how I think and see the world."

I believe in the power of combining passion with logic. Through decades of experience in technology leadership, I've learned that the best solutions come from understanding both the human and technical aspects of any challenge.
