About
At Locumkit, I led reliability work for production GCP platforms used by 10,000+ users, raising availability from 99.95% to 99.99%. I introduced Datadog dashboards, burn-rate alerts, and OpenTelemetry traces.
At WeRPlay, I defined SLIs and implemented burn-rate alerts to establish journey-aligned SLOs across 20 services. I also led Cloud SQL migrations and implemented network controls that reduced cross-service error rates by 25%.
On my ongoing AI/ML reliability project, I designed a reusable LLM integration layer on GCP that reduced P99 tail latency by 37%. I also built observability for latency, errors, usage, and cost, with sampling and cardinality controls that delivered 22% savings.
