Projects & Affiliations

Tools for teams to cultivate their observability practice — understand telemetry quality, control costs, and improve instrumentation.

OpenTelemetry training courses and workshops. Self-paced tracks and specialization programs taught by project contributors, covering the API, SDK, Collector, and instrumentation practice.

Shaping governance for one of the largest open-source observability projects. Contributing across the Collector, instrumentation, and cross-cutting efforts.

Kubernetes operator that makes deploying Jaeger in production a one-manifest affair — provisioning agents, collectors, and storage with sensible defaults.

Kubernetes operator that manages OpenTelemetry Collectors and auto-instrumentation for workloads running in the cluster. Now the canonical way to run OTel on Kubernetes.

The official tool for assembling custom OpenTelemetry Collector distributions. Lets teams include only the components they need, or add private ones, without forking.

Trace-ID-aware exporter for the OpenTelemetry Collector. Keeps spans from the same trace on the same downstream collector — the foundation for scalable tail-based sampling pipelines.

Led development on the Jaeger distributed tracing project. Drove Jaeger’s OpenTelemetry integration and the Kubernetes operator.

Core maintainer of the OpenTelemetry Collector — the vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline for traces, metrics, and logs. Contributed across core components, the contrib repo, and release engineering.
