In earlier lives, he has led reliability efforts on Uber Eats, built monitoring systems at AppDynamics, helped port iOS to the ARM64 architecture as a Kernel Engineer at Apple, directed the responses to dozens of high-stakes production outages, and managed teams of up to 25 engineers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, the author discovered a love of mentorship and had the good fortune to mentor tens of talented engineers.
