Create and drive a strategic observability vision: to break down a central monolith which only tracked operating system metrics. Instead, the internal cloud has a decentralized observability toolkit, permitting each cloud user to instrument their own applications and infrastructure as appropriate. In addition, the pattern permits aggregation and consolidation in order to tell bigger enterprise-wide stories about resource usage and enable incident management. The stack is Grafana Agent, Prometheus/Thanos/VictoriaMetrics, Loki, Grafana Tempo, alertmanager, Karma, and Grafana dashboards. The stack being replaced is filebeat, telegraf, Zabbix, Kafka, and ELK. Other software used: Hashicorp Vault, Consul, Nomad, Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, Jekyll, SaltStack

Develop internal web app for project management, team management, budgeting, and forecasting. Amalgamate data sources to tell stories about security remediation, drive compliance, and report all the way to the board of directors. Automate manual data exercises, in some cases driving from 40 hours per week to less than one hour.
