Logs
Structured, high-cardinality log pipelines: ingestion, parsing, indexing and query that survive burst traffic without dropping a line.

From firefighting to foresight
I started out as a Site Reliability Engineer, on the receiving end of pages at 3 AM, chasing cascading failures, tuning SLOs, and learning that you can't fix what you can't see.
That lesson pulled me into Observability. Today I build the systems that make other engineers' systems legible: high-throughput log pipelines and event platforms that stay fast, cheap, and trustworthy at scale.
Reliability isn't a team; it's a property you engineer in. Observability is how you prove it.

What I obsess over
Events
Event streams as a first-class signal: schematized, ordered, replayable, and joined with logs to reconstruct exactly what happened.
- streaming
- schemas
- enrichment
- replay
Reliability
SLOs, error budgets and alerting that pages on symptoms, not noise. The SRE instincts I never left behind.

Let's talk telemetry
Building something that needs to stay up and stay observable? I'm always up for a conversation about logs, events, and reliability at scale.
