Provide guidance, direction, and elbow grease for projects relating to metrics, logging, and other real-time observability problems:- Implementing views and controls on all stages of our global logging pipeline, allowing us to control how we degrade in adverse conditions- Automating all the things, allowing us to manage multiple large projects with a very lean team- Planning and iterating on current and next-gen monitoring/metrics systems to insure low friction migration- Building fault-tolerance, redundancy, and low-dependency backstops into our systems which allow baseline observability even in the event to a full site outage- Minimizing build out time for new datacenters or pods

San Mateo, California, Us

Work with others to make things happen. Highlights include: - Building a log centralization platform to make engineer's lives better (ELK, fluentd) - Building a metric collection, visualization, and alerting infrastructure to make failures shorter (TICK stack, grafana) - Building a global data transit to make datacenters more connected (kafka) - Building and running our in-house and 3rd party services (docker, nomad) - Connecting applications, infrastructure, and automation (vault, consul, kafka) - Triaging and maintaining core infrastructure to keep the company running (Elastic Search, Redis, Memcached, etc) - Investing in automation to make all of these things possible (Chef, terraform, python, golang)

San Mateo, California, Us

Working to implement, improve process, and automate for a wide variety of technologies, including:- Hardware Provisioning (PXE, iPXE, kickstart, cobbler)- Monitoring and Alerting (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Kapacitor, Grafana)- Search and Logging (Elastic Search, kibana, logstash, fluentD)- Caching (redis/RLEC/memcached/mcrouter)- Linux configuration- Configuration Management (Chef)- External Vendor APIs- Container image build automation (docker)

Responsibilities include:- Monitoring and triage for production fleet- Maintaining and developing the configuration management system- Developing, testing, and deploying tools to increase developer productivity in a reliable way

Mountain View, Ca, Us

Responsibilities include linux systems triage, systems monitoring, creating additional automation and documentation, systems integration, and supporting other groups when performing work on the production environment. Maintained and managed 15,000+ hosts and devices.

Menlo Park, California, Us

Responsibilities included monitoring machine conditions, creating and documenting new procedures, adjusting and tuning accelerator parameters based on user request, enforcing safetly protocols, investigating and triaging machine errors and damage, and working with end users to ensure ideal user conditions.

I researched and built hardware and software to support a future research experiment in the area of haptics and cognitive psychology.
