I started my career as a software engineer, armed with a solid CS degree and a passion for programming. Back then, it was all about Java interfaces, C++ backends, relational databases, and simple Eclipse IDEs for basic productivity. This was before containers and micro-services reshaped the market. Each release was a monumental event, every line of code a potential risk. The thrill of solving complex problems soon led to sleepless nights, dealing with customer issues and debugging them by weeding through endless logs.

My career eventually shifted towards marketing, driven by a desire to understand how the products I helped create impacted customers. As software engineering advanced, I couldn’t shake the feeling that automation and observability tools could have transformed those sleepless nights into proactive insights.

Fast forward to today—I am thrilled to join Kloudfuse, the industry's first unified observability solution designed to handle vast data volumes at a fraction of traditional costs. The industry has evolved significantly since my early days, with legacy observability tools giving way to advanced solutions designed for dynamic, micro-services environments.
