Open Source ☆
Building and contributing to cloud-native infrastructure, observability, and developer tooling.
From contributing to CNCF projects and observability ecosystems to building open-source systems of my own.
Open Source Journey
A progression from shipping personal projects to working inside cloud-native and observability ecosystems.
2023
Project foundations
Built early public projects across Android, real-time systems, and developer tooling.
2024-25
Cloud-native focus
Built ReceiptSnap around Kubernetes, AWS, Helm, and an OpenTelemetry-based observability stack.
Jan 2026
Ecosystem contributions
Started contributing across OpenTelemetry and Grafana, from CI and tooling to safer exporter configuration.
Feb 2026
Kubernetes & Cloud
Started IRIS, a Go controller for incident detection, root cause analysis, and GitOps rollbacks.

Project ecosystem involvement
Contributing through OpenTelemetry, a CNCF project, with work across observability tooling, documentation, and ecosystem infrastructure.
OpenTelemetry
Contributor · Organization Member
Contributing to the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, including the Ecosystem Explorer and observability tooling.
Grafana
Ecosystem contributor
Worked on Grafana Alloy build tooling. Contribution shipped in Grafana Alloy v1.5.0.
Parseable
Software Engineer · Apr 2026 – Present
Working on an open-source observability platform across Go, CLI tooling, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Helm, and observability.
Selected Contributions
A small set of changes selected for engineering depth, ecosystem relevance, and practical impact.
Repository-wide license compliance guardrails
Added copyright header tooling for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript files, with validation in CI and contributor workflows.
Missing license headers are caught before they reach the repository.
Safer gRPC exporter authentication configuration
Removed unsupported headers from the gRPC exporter config type so authentication mistakes fail earlier.
Misconfiguration is rejected instead of being silently accepted.
Beyla version embedded in Alloy builds
Fixed ldflags propagation so the Beyla version is injected into the generated binary.
Shipped in Grafana Alloy v1.5.0.
I don't list every contribution here. GitHub has the complete history.

Systems I build and projects where I contribute beyond isolated changes.
IRIS
AI-powered Kubernetes incident response / RCA system
A Go controller that watches deployment failures, combines Prometheus metrics and Loki logs for LLM-assisted root cause analysis, then triggers GitOps rollbacks through ArgoCD.
OpenTelemetry Ecosystem Explorer
Contributor
Contributing CI reliability, deployment workflows, configuration tooling, and repository compliance automation to the OpenTelemetry ecosystem map.
