What do you do at Grafana Labs?

I am Software Engineer on the Grafana Cloud side of things, working on making it easy for users to get up and running with Grafana Cloud.

I am a longtime user of Grafana and Metrictank. I used these tools to build monitoring infra, and loved the open and transparent nature of Grafana Labs. I decided to join and build tools that are loved by the developer community (obviously including me).

What open source projects do you contribute to?

I am curating failuremodes.dev. In the past, I have contributed to WhsJS, and sonic-pi, and PHPA.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I like to read blogs, books, papers, and occasionally I write on my blog. I like camping, hiking, and meeting new people, and drinking tea. 🙂

What’s your favorite new gadget or tech toy?

I got a new graphics tablet, and I love it. I mostly use it to draw stick figures but imagine the possibility! 😆

What’s the last thing you binge-watched?

The Witcher, and yes they are working on the next season. 🙂

What superpowers do you wish you had (or do you have!)?

I wish I the had the power to know the unknown. Would be very handy when you are stuck in traffic! 😃
