Build persona illustration
Khanh Nguyen

Welcome.

I’m Khanh Nguyen — developing engineering teams that create reliable infrastructure at scale.

I care most about thoughtful systems, clear ownership, and organizations that can operate what they build with high confidence.

Current mission

Senior Engineering Manager

Leading Site Reliability and Infrastructure Engineering at Sentry, aligning systems, teams, and metrics around real customer impact rather than internal proxies.

  • bridging infrastructure and product-facing reliability, not treating them as separate concerns.
  • pushing engineering beyond surface-level metrics toward operational clarity and accountability.
  • evolving systems and teams in place—same people, sharper focus, higher standards.
  • shifting from reactive firefighting → intentional reliability engineering.
