Dave Bechberger is known for his expertise in distributed data architecture and is a subject matter expert in graph technologies. He is currently a Senior Graph Architect on the Amazon Neptune team, working on AWS’s purpose-built graph database. His background spans years of architecting and building distributed data architectures and delivering full-stack software solutions to complex data problems.

Dave takes a pragmatic approach to solving data problems, choosing the right technology from the wide world of SQL and NoSQL options based on the needs of applications, data analysis, and data science workflows rather than on hype. Graph databases are his specialty, and he is a frequent voice on when relationships in data deserve a purpose-built model.

An experienced speaker, Dave has presented at national and international conferences including NDC Oslo, NDC London, and GraphDay conferences in Texas, San Francisco, and Seattle. He is the author of Graph Databases in Action from Manning publications.
