I'm a cloud-native developer with a deep focus on observability and distributed systems telemetry. I contribute to the CNCF ecosystem because the problems are genuinely fascinating — not to pad a resume.
My work sits at the intersection of distributed tracing, metrics pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure — the foundations that make modern systems understandable at scale.
- 🔭 Active contributor to OpenTelemetry under CNCF
- 📡 Working on receivers, exporters, and tracing pipelines in the OTel Collector
- 🎯 Primary LFX target → OpenTelemetry (Summer 2026)
- ☸️ Part of the broader CNCF contributor community
- 📚 Currently deep-diving into eBPF-based auto-instrumentation and OTel Protocol (OTLP)
OpenTelemetry is solving one of the most important problems in cloud-native: vendor-neutral, unified observability across traces, metrics, and logs.
I've studied the Collector architecture, understand the pipeline model (receivers → processors → exporters), and I'm actively contributing to real issues.
🎯 Goal: Contribute to the OTel Collector, SDKs, and auto-instrumentation pipelines.
