Bio

Reasoned Cloud-Native Open-Source Software Infrastructure Engineer. Site Reliability Engineer. Observability, Monitoring, and Performance Engineering. Mentor. Speaker. Blogger. Introverted Human (not Cylon, but who knows?). Open Source Software Developer. Prometheus Team member. Thanos Maintainer. CNCF and Prometheus Ecosystem Contributor. Gopher. Rustecean. Learning (by building) about Distributed Systems, Databases, and Operating Systems. Focused on Observability, Reliability, Instrumentation, System Programming, and Performance. I've built Linux observability tools for software and reliability engineers for the past few years. I'm deeply invested in profiling, eBPF, performance, time series, and columnar databases. And currently, hyper-focused on building an eBPF-based whole-system performance profiler. In my free time, I'm a bookworm, a dog whisperer, a mechanical keyboard and lego builder, a single malt taster and a coffee drinker in training (peer pressure). In my previous life, I was born on the Planet of Lisp (Racket/Scheme). I had been a rebel Pythonista, a Java brewer, a paranoid Android, a C# reshaper, an iOS NSHipster, a well-grounded Rubyist, and an Elixir alchemist. Still, I ever lived in the Cloud and evermore been on-call since the beginning of my career (circa 2012). See https://kakkoyun.me and https://github.com/kakkoyun for further details!
