About Me.

I will be mostly attending talks this year, with my focus squarely on Google's AI platform offerings and their managed services around Valkey and AlloyDB. Google Next is always a useful signal for where cloud infrastructure is heading, and I'm curious to see how their AI tooling intersects with reliability engineering at scale. As usual, I'll be spending time at the Sentry booth in between sessions. Stop by and say hi if you're around.

I'm presenting during one of the tracks on how the roles of SRE and developer are converging in modern incident response. As tooling has matured, the traditional boundary between infrastructure ownership and application-level debugging has blurred significantly. The talk draws from patterns we see at Sentry, where the fastest resolutions consistently come from engineers who can move fluidly between both layers. Come by and see how modern observability is reshaping what it means to be on-call.

Primarily attending to help out at the Sentry booth and reconnect with colleagues in South Bay. There's a lot happening in the SRE world right now — AI-assisted operations, the ongoing evolution of platform engineering, and shifting definitions of what the SRE role even means at different scales. I've blocked time for several talks I've been looking forward to. If you're attending, reach out and let's find time to connect.
