Hey there, I'm Reza 🚀
Backend Engineer @ GitLab · Import and Integrate · Database maintainer
🧭 Who I am
I work on the Import and Integrate team, which owns how data gets into GitLab: Direct Transfer, Offline Transfer, the GitHub importer, and the integrations and webhooks that link GitLab to other tools.
I'm also a database maintainer, so a good part of my day is reading migrations and query plans. My home turf is Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
