  • Engineered a comprehensive observability platform using OpenTelemetry, Zipkin, Fluentd, and Vector, enabling seamless collection, processing, and publishing of logs, metrics, and distributed traces across microservices, improving system visibility and operational efficiency.
  • Implemented OpenTelemetry instrumentation across microservices, enabling unified tracing and metrics collection, which improved the identification of latency bottlenecks and enhanced performance monitoring for production environments.
  • Integrated Zipkin for distributed tracing , enabling end-to-end request tracking across multiple services and reducing time to detect and resolve latency-related issues by 40%.
  • Developed and maintained Fluentd-based log aggregation pipelines , efficiently collecting, transforming, and forwarding logs from applications to centralized log management systems, improving troubleshooting and reducing incident resolution times.
  • Utilized Vector for high-throughput log and metric collection , optimizing data processing performance with minimal resource usage, ensuring real-time analytics with zero impact on application performance.
  • Built and configured Mosaic alerts for proactive monitoring, setting up intelligent alert thresholds and reducing alert noise, ensuring critical incidents triggered immediate notifications and minimizing manual oversight.
  • Integrated Mosaic alerts with PagerDuty , automating incident notification workflows and escalation policies to ensure rapid response from on-call teams, reducing downtime and improving response times to critical application failures.
  • Designed and optimized PagerDuty schedules for effective on-call rotations, ensuring proper incident ownership and reducing response delays by aligning notifications with team availability and expertise.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams (DevOps, SREs, and Product) to ensure observability and alerting systems met operational requirements, driving a culture of proactive monitoring and quick incident resolution.
  • Monitored, analyzed, and fine-tuned alerting strategies in Mosaic to reduce false positives by 25%, ensuring only actionable alerts were generated and optimizing the incident response process.
  • Provided ongoing maintenance and updates for the observability platform, ensuring compatibility with evolving systems and infrastructure, while integrating new features such as custom metrics and trace data collection.
  • Created and maintained detailed documentation for the observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Zipkin, Fluentd, Vector, Mosaic), including setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and best practices, enabling faster team onboarding and operational efficiency.
  • Trained and mentored teams on the effective use of the observability platform and incident management tools (Mosaic, PagerDuty), promoting best practices for log management, trace collection, and proactive alerting.
