Talks

On occasion, I like to speak about my work. Here are links to some publicly available talks I’ve given.

Lessons Learned Building Observability for a Non-Profit

2025-10-04

In October, I had the amazing opportunity to speak at Texas Linux Fest 2025, a conference for Linux and open source enthusiasts to meet and share ideas. I met a bunch of really cool people while I was there, and learned a lot about some newer trends in the Linux world such as bootc, project bluefin, and SteamOS.

My talk was about observability for NYC Mesh, a topic I am only lightly obsessed with. In it, I give a quick overview of our network, risks to it, and the tools we use to identify and diagnose issues.
