About Me
I am currently building platform features that help Datadog enterprise customers get their tagging configuration right in order to benefit from governance capabilities.
Resume created on DoYouBuzz
  • Tag Governance
    Building a cross-product control plane for tags, defining an org‑scoped policy system and admin UI to make tags consistent across all telemetry through:
    • Tag Visibility
      Helping customer visualise their tagging coverage with policies to identify gaps and misconfigurations
    • Tag Enrichment
      Enabling editable tags in catalogs and over API-Keys with propagation to related telemetry. Driving ownership, accountability and improving data quality overall.
    • Tag Enforcement
      Enforce tagging policies to offer ingestion controls by dropping data at various stages.
  • Support Engineering Tools
    • Building tools to improve customer success and support engineers daily workflows
    • Centralizing customer information and account configuration

      Moved from a general data processing service to a platform‑operated shared runtime + SDK so product teams own their custom data processing while benefiting from platform capabilities (isolation, pooled cells, unified deploys, reliability, cost-efficiency)
  • Foundational platforms
    • Promoted the Streaming Platform (unified client + control plane + admin UI) to standardize features such as backfills and slow‑lanes across Datadog
