I work on observability at Adobe, where most of my time goes into making sure metrics and traces actually work at scale across a lot of Kubernetes clusters. That means a lot of OpenTelemetry, a lot of Prometheus, and a lot of staring at dashboards wondering why something that was fine five minutes ago suddenly isn't.
I'm a triager on the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib project, where I review issues and PRs and maintain telemetrygen. I also contribute to other parts of the OTel ecosystem, kube-prometheus-stack, and Cortex. Open source is a big part of how I learn and how I try to give back to the tools I rely on every day.
I speak at conferences when I have something worth sharing. Putting a talk together is a good way to organize my thoughts and find the gaps in what I know.
When I'm not at a keyboard, I ride motorcycles, play too many board games, and spend time with my Airedale Terrier, Terry, who has his own Instagram and occasionally makes it into my slides.
