Amey Banarse
Field Engineering Leader at Databricks in San Francisco, CA
I'm a Field Engineering leader at Databricks, where I partner with AI-first digital-native and HealthTech companies to design and scale data-intensive, AI-driven applications. With nearly two decades of experience across distributed databases, cloud-native architectures, and analytics platforms, I've led mission-critical initiatives at companies such as YugabyteDB, Pivotal, and FINRA, and driven large-scale data architecture transformations for organizations including Paramount+, Wells Fargo, and General Motors.
I'm passionate about the impact analytics and AI platforms can have on transforming core business strategy — combining the right technologies with data science to tackle hard problems and create real business, human, and societal impact.
I'm a frequent industry speaker and thought leader, having presented at AWS re:Invent, KubeCon, and Postgres-focused conferences on topics spanning Distributed SQL, agentic AI systems, and large-scale data platforms.
