Summary

Here's a neutral, objective, and interesting summary of the text in one paragraph: Michael Aboagye, a freelance Kubernetes systems/security engineer and PostgreSQL consultant, has been using SQL for five years and relies on it for data analysis and validation. He started with validating data on the server side via PL/pgSQL but now uses other tools like Great Expectations for real-time data quality monitoring. As a PostgreSQL community member, Aboagye shares his expertise on essential SQL tips, best tools for handling Kubernetes clusters, and his journey into computing, which began with learning hip-hop dance moves from Omarion's "You Got Served" crew via school computers. He emphasizes the importance of readable SQL queries, providing tips such as simplifying complex queries into A, B, and C, and recommends resources like pganalyze blog and Stack Overflow for updating his SQL skills. With expertise in PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB, Aboagye offers advice on favorite tools, including pg_stat, Velero, Restic, pg_loader, and Longhorn, while encouraging the community to share their experiences with the State of PostgreSQL survey.
