I'm in Addis, where inertia keeps me rooted.

Where I Work

I'm currently at Eagle Lion, and right off the bat in my first month, I jumped in and led the charge on setting up monitoring for the CBE SuperApp's microservices. It's given us a super clear view into how the system's performing, all while sticking to Ethiopia's strict banking rules no shortcuts there.

My gig basically revolves around collecting and digging into system data, handling monitoring setups that can scale in a cloud setup, and hooking them up to analytics tools for those real time "aha" moments.

It's great, getting to build and roll out stuff that keeps tabs on performance, catches errors, and tracks activity in these spread out microservices; making sure our logging and monitoring play nice with banking regs, like secure audit trails; deploying and keeping tools running in a flexible, container-based cloud world; blending data into analytics for insights you can actually use; teaming up with devs and ops folks to make everything more reliable and easier to watch; and jotting down how tos while showing the team the ropes on best practices and tools.

All this taps into my toolkit with SAP Solution Architecture, Open Telemetry, Jaeger, Prometheus.io, Victoria Metrics, and Betterstack these backends really help wrangle messy systems into something you can actually see and trust.
