Platform & Observability Engineer
I keep the tools
developers depend on
running, visible, and affordable.
Fourteen years operating enterprise developer-tooling and observability stacks. I run the platforms — Datadog, GitHub, Nexus, LaunchDarkly, Docker — across a large multi-company software group, and I do the unglamorous part well: incident response, vendor negotiation, and cutting spend without cutting capability.

What I focus on
Three things I'm genuinely good at
// 01
Observability
Datadog at specialist depth — multi-org administration, SSO/SAML, RUM rollout, alerting that signals instead of screaming. Migrated a group off legacy APM onto a modern stack.
// 02
Platform & DevTools
Org admin across GitHub, Nexus artifact management, LaunchDarkly and Docker. Governance, supply-chain security response, and the database upgrades and incident triage that keep it all up.
// 03
Vendor & cost
The rare part: usage-based-billing optimization, consumption forecasting, and contract negotiation with vendors and procurement. I've taken seven-figure spend down 30% against baseline.
