Bloomberg SREs are viewed as a special type of software engineer. Instead of being obsessed with features, they care about performance ‒ stability, availability, reliability, and operability. All Bloomberg SREs focus on these SRE principles: Monitoring; Provisioning, Configuration and Orchestration; Capacity Management; Deployment and Rollback; and Incident Management.Previously, I was post doctoral researcher focused on the application of bioinformatics in agricultural crop breeding programs. Before that I was Linux Systems Admin (i.e. - mostly focused on DevOps before DevOps was a thing, aka Production Assurance), and a software engineer.
