Remove myself as database reviewer
Why is this change being made?
I've had to red circle myself for months due to review workload being too much of a distraction from my actual deliverables, so in an effort to actually be able to get through reviews again, I'd like to remove myself from the pool of database reviewers.
I think this makes sense as in my normal role I have very few actual interactions with our database anyway, so my experience in how our database is set up and configured is weaker than my Ruby experience which I work in every day. Database reviews take up a disproportionate amount of time (I probably complete 5 backend reviews to every 1 database review in terms of time) and this isn't tracked in any of our productivity measurements, so it's a bit of a pain point in trying to get my productivity levels back up.
Also slightly trims my bio section.
