homeschooled, piano major, college dropout

Work

CTO at Honeycomb

Honeycomb.io

I come from the databases and systems side. Worked on the MongoDB pluggable storage engine from Facebook/Parse, rolled out the world's first MongoDB+RocksDB into production. Developed various capture/replay mechanisms for MySQL traffic in the past. Chef, automation, orchestration, microservices, web scale infrastructure, platforms, APIs, etc.

These days I mostly work on observability.

How to CTO after three years as CEO

Thinking about the future of complex systems and observability, how to evangelize event-driven systems instrumentation.

How to ship code by incrementally gaining confidence in it -- more of a "fourth trimester" than a big bang deploy event.

How to increase service ownership, not operatorship.

If you're frustrated with the limitations of monitoring, metrics, logs, or APM, I may be able to help.
