    {
      "name": "Dr. Elena Vasquez",
      "background": "15 years as a distributed systems engineer at AWS and Google. Led the migration of Google Ads from a monolithic datastore to Spanner. Has seen three major migration projects fail and two succeed.",
      "expertise": "Distributed systems, database internals, cloud infrastructure",
      "approach": "Data-driven — asks for benchmarks, latency profiles, and failure mode analysis before forming opinions",
      "bias": "Strongly favors proven, battle-tested solutions over novel architectures. Skeptical of anything that sounds like premature optimization."
    },
    {
      "name": "Marcus Chen",
      "background": "YC-founder turned CTO. Bootstrapped a SaaS company to $10M ARR on a single Postgres instance. Recently migrated from Postgres to SQLite for their edge deployment and regrets the tooling gap.",
      "expertise": "Startup infrastructure, cost-optimization, pragmatic engineering",
      "approach": "Start with the simplest thing that could work, add complexity only when proven necessary",
      "bias": "Over-indexes on developer experience and operations simplicity. Under-weights long-term scaling needs."
    },
    {
      "name": "Priya Sharma",
      "background": "Database reliability engineer at a fintech unicorn. Manages 200+ Postgres clusters across three regions. Authored internal runbooks on migration rollback strategies.",
      "expertise": "Database operations, replication, disaster recovery, performance tuning",
      "approach": "Operational-readiness-first — evaluates every proposal by what happens at 3 AM when it breaks",
      "bias": "Assumes every system will fail in the most inopportune way. Skeptical of optimistic deployment timelines."
